The brigade travel to Paris for the final showdown - home to more three-star Michelin restaurants than any other city in the world. For Jason, this time it is personal as they go up against a French cooking dynasty. Their rival chef for the last time is Mathieu Pacaud, owner and head chef of Apicius, a luxury Michelin-starred restaurant off the Champs-Elysees in Paris. Mathieu is the son of legendary three-star chef Bernard Pacaud, who also happens to be a personal hero of Jason’s - so much so he has a dish named after him at his restaurant.
Having tasted Mathieu’s exquisite food, the brigade realise how much precision, technical skill, timing and practice will be required to achieve anything close to his standard. With final service looming Jason, Dale and Andy reveal that they will be gifting their 'bible' of all their top recipes from their own personal canon to the most deserving brigade member by the end of the last day. With the stakes never higher, all members will need work hard to fight for their position in the brigade, as Jason explains that one person will be required to take on the unfavourable position of kitchen porter.
Win or lose, Jason - a chef from a town with no Michelin stars - is determined to prove what can be achieved in just six weeks as his brigade of raw talent take on the might of Parisian haute cuisine. Show less
