Michel Roux Jr

<p>Today, I’m joined by a legend of the culinary world, the chef, restaurateur and broadcaster, <a href="http://www.michelroux.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michel Roux Jr</a>. Michel was practically born in a kitchen when his mother went into labour during service at his father’s restaurant. He’s the son of <a href="http://www.albertroux.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Albert Roux</a> and the nephew of Michel Roux, brothers who revolutionised the restaurant business in the UK when they opened <a href="https://www.le-gavroche.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Le Gavroche</a> in 1967, famously becoming the first establishment in this country to gain one, two and then three Michelin stars. When his father retired in 1993, Michel Jr took over the world-famous restaurant, quickly becoming a household name on TV shows like <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00mx9xb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Masterchef The Professionals</a>, <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000qrxy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Remarkable Places to Eat</a> and he now has a new TV show, set in Provence, which he’ll tell us all about. Chefs tend be very well travelled, and Michel is no exception. His travel diaries take us on a delectable journey from Lyon to Hong Kong, The Seychelles to Las Vegas.</p><br><p>Destination Recap:</p><ul><li>Scotland</li><li>Shipbourne, Kent, England</li><li>Fairlawne Estate, Kent, England</li><li>Paris, France</li><li>Lyons, France</li><li>Hong Kong</li><li>Aberdeen, Hong Kong</li><li>West Coast of USA</li><li><a href="https://wolfgangpuck.com/dining/spago/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spago Restaurant</a>, San Francisco, USA</li><li><a href="https://www.chezpanisse.com/1/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chez Panisse</a>, San Francisco, USA</li><li>The Seychelles&nbsp;</li><li>Bird Island, Seychelles&nbsp;</li><li><a href="https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g298572-d1534067-Reviews-Mari
