The legacy ‘chef roux leaves behind is immeasurable’ - tributes to Michel Roux Snr
The hospitality industry is once again in mourning as it says goodbye to Michel Roux Snr, another of the culinary greats.
The Roux’s have influenced every chef in some way or another, they made the restaurant scene what it is today and they have inspired generations of young chefs especially with the creation of The Roux Scholarship.
Michel was ‘the father figure’ to the Roux Scholars and he will be sorely missed. A real legend of the industry he’s described as ‘one of the most charismatic men you could ever meet’.
A ‘gastronomic kingpin’ and one of the ‘nicest men ever to grace the stoves’. As an industry we will never forget ‘what you have done for French Gastronomy and the food in Britain’. The legacy ‘chef roux leaves behind is immeasurable’.
Our world is a smaller, poorer place without him. https://t.co/z6TSA8HSqA
