Kings of Pastry
16 Chefs. 3 Days. 1 Chance. This looks so delicious! A movie about the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France, a competition held every four years in France. Each competitor enters a masterpiece which demonstrates his/her craft – in chocolate making and pâtisserie (to window making and cabinetry.) The winner carries the title “Un des Meilleurs Ouvriers de France” which means ‘One of the Best Workers of France’. Quite an honor. This is the real deal, like the James Beard Award here in the Untied States. The blue, white and red striped collar worn on the jackets of the winners is more than the ultimate recognition for every pastry chef –”it is a dream and an obsession.” In NYC, “Kings of Pastry” will open at Film Forum this September.
