In a bid to remind the world that French cuisine is (in their eyes, at least) the greatest in the world, French chefs cooked up a storm yesterday, with 1700 chefs in 150 cities preparing feasts in bars, restaurants, embassies and even a prison.
The special event, called “Good France” / “Goût de France” was sponsored by the foreign ministry of France and organized with the help of Michelin-starred restaurateur Alain Ducasse, to remind the world that French cuisine is an official UNESCO “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity,” listed in 2010.
