“Do I want to cook vegan?” : who is Pierre Reure, this Top Chef candidate with a strong character!

On Wednesday March 13, the public was able to see the first episode of the fifteenth season of Top Chef on M6. The opportunity to discover the two new chefs, Dominique Crenn and Stéphanie Le Quellec but also and above all the 16 new candidates. Among them, several caught the attention of viewers through their personality, and Pierre is one of them. His frank speaking left an impression on the chefs but his dish was able to seduce them. Portrait of this young man of character.

“I’m a country guy, I don’t like city people.” The message is clear, Pierre announces the color from the first test. Frank talk that almost disconcerts Hélène Darroze and Glenn Viel in front of him. The 28-year-old young man affirms in his portrait, he defines himself as “a bear”. “I don’t take it lightly when saying things.” A spontaneity that is felt in his cooking, in his image:“Comforting cuisine where you understand what you are eating. Butter and crème fraîche, that’s life”.

He inherited his know-how from his family, itself in the restaurant business. After working with star chefs, he finally opted for a more sober, simpler choice: a mobile restaurant. It’s not a food truck, because as he says: “I’m not American, so I have a mobile restaurant”. If his sense of formula is destabilizing, his cuisine has seduced the chefs from the first test. His sloppy mushroom omelette was a hit and allowed him to join the gray brigade.

He will have to surpass himself once again in the episode broadcast this Wednesday March 20 in a high-flying test. The two-star chef Andoni Aduriz will launch a unique challenge to the candidates by going even further than the classic trompe-oeil. This time, they will have to perform a trick-or-treat. The goal is to imitate the look and taste of a meat dish without any meat in the recipe of course. A real challenge for Pierre who proclaimed in his portrait: “Look at me, do I have a head for vegan cooking?”

So will the candidate be able to cook without meat and pass this test? Answer this evening at 9:10 p.m. on M6.
