Career

Etchebest's father owned a restaurant in

Bègles-Bordeaux rugby club and practised judo.[1][2] At the age of fifteen, he chose to pursue a career in catering over professional rugby.[3] Etchebest trained at the Talence Bordeaux culinary school.[4]

By the age of 22 he was second chef de cuisine at the Paris restaurant

Saint-Emilion in 2003.[5] The restaurant already held a Michelin star which he retained, and added a second star in 2008.[4]

He began presenting the cooking reality television show Cauchemar en cuisine on French channel M6 in 2011.[4] The show is the French language equivalent of Gordon Ramsay's British and American television shows Kitchen Nightmares.[6] Etchebest prefers to know as little as possible in advance about each restaurant visited in the show in order to keep his reactions spontaneous.[7]

Since 2015, he also becomes a member of the jury in Top Chef's French adaptation, aired on M6.

Personal life

He has a son named Louis Oscar,[1] and is married to Dominique.[3]
