Cauchemar en cuisine avec Philippe Etchebest (2011 - 2026)

It is in this small village near Avignon that Philippe, the manager, has invested in a gastronomic restaurant. But he inherited a business with a troubled past: the establishment was a very poorly frequented hotel de passe. Rumors did the rest and the restaurant struggled to fill its room. In the kitchen, Christophe, the chef, has lost the flame. A brilliant cook recruited in Paris by Philippe, he has lowered his culinary ambitions. Disappointed, without passion, he works like a ghost, far from the dreams that motivated his arrival. Due to budgetary restrictions, the menu no longer resembles anything, the establishment is in a dead end. The arrival of Philippe Etchebest will shake everyone up. His objective: to win back the population of the village, to rediscover local products and above all to give back to this chef, a shadow of his former self, the desire to share and to please through his cooking.

Solange and Michel, close to retirement, left Strasbourg and invested in a small restaurant in Sète. Eager to get her son back, Solange brought Julien in to run the restaurant. Unfortunately, she is unable to delegate: hyperactive, she never stops criticizing her son's initiatives and prevents him from running the business. Julien, the only one with hotel training, is now totally unmotivated. As a result, his father takes him for an incurable slacker. In this establishment, everything works in reverse. No one is in the right place and family communication is at a standstill. Philippe Etchebest is going to make everyone face their family and professional responsibilities, so that the restaurant can get back on track. In the light of a new organization, everyone will find the right words to reform a competent team and a united family.
