We are back with this week with a very special Tribute Menu, honoring the legendary chef and one of the founders of Nouvelle Cuisine, Chef Pierre Troisgros.Chef Troisgos passed away last Wednesday at the age of 92, leaving behind a legacy that we have been inspired by and hope to honor through our Tock takeaway menu for October 1-4. Chef Troisgros and his brother Jean were among the first in the Nouvelle Cuisine movement along with other famed chefs like Paul Bocuse. The br...others took over their parent’s restaurant in Roanne, France, in the 1950s naming it Les Freres Troisgros. Their restaurant has received 3-Michelin Stars consecutively for 52 years (and counting). Their style of cooking departed from the traditional French cuisine, which was often heavier.Instead, they began using lighter and fresher ingredients. Their iconic dish, Salmon with Sorrel Sauce, paved the way for this gastronomic movement. His son Michel, and grandsons Cesar and Leo continue the legacy. Our Tribute to Pierre Troisgros is now available to order along with our Melisse x Citrin classics like our Egg Caviar Kit, Lobster Bolognese, 18 oz True Japanese Wagyu Beef Kit, and our newest this week- White Truffle Risotto Kit. Pickup is available this Thursday through Sunday. http://exploretock.com/melisse #inpursuitofexcellence
