Quatre chefs étoilés et des traiteurs de l'association, Gard aux chefs, ont rendu visite aux agriculteurs qui occupent, depuis ce jeudi 25 janvier, l'A9 au KM Delta.

This Thursday, around 2:30 p.m., on the smoky A9 occupied by farmers, the surprise appearance of these starred chefs and caterers from the Gard aux chefs association was quite a publicity stunt. ;hellip;for the demonstrators.

Sausages and barbecue for star chefs

As a result, the farmers, who joined this monster mobilization, brought out the barbecues and sausages. For this visit, these renowned cooks wore their work clothes, with collars in the colors blue, white and red. It was chef Jérôme Nutile (his restaurant in Nîmes has one star) who called back the same morning and contacted his colleagues, confirms Diane Jardin, catering chef, based in Bellegarde.< em>« I only work with locals, call the chef Jérôme Nutile. I buy all my vegetables at the farmers' market. Gas, electricity, everything is increasing. And this of course has consequences. Perhaps we should give more to those who work, suggests the chef. And less to others. And our national union should also take action. »

Jérôme Nutile was accompanied by Damien Sanchez (Le Skab, another star in Nîmes), by Serge Chenet, (one star in Pujaut), by Michel Kayser (Chez Alexandre, two stars in Garons), by Michel Benet (caterer in Avignon).
