A little tour and then go.

The two candidates from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, competing for the Top Chef television program, were eliminated from the competition on Wednesday evening.

Before even being able to join a brigade.

Lyonnais Adrien Zedda and Japanese Yohei Hosaka, one of Annecy's most prominent chefs, have fallen by the wayside in every sense of the word.

The production, which preferred to highlight chefs in cowboy boots, tattoos or Gordon Ramsay look-alike, did not deign to broadcast their portraits.

And do not linger either on the test that they had to carry out initially to convince the jury.

What shock the viewers having quickly understood that they would be the first two candidates to leave the competition.

During the evening, Internet users did not fail to highlight, on social networks, the lack of respect towards the two cooks.

Michelin-starred restaurants

So for those who would have liked to discover more about the two unfortunate forgotten of the evening, know that Adrien Zedda, approached by the production to participate in this twelfth season of Top Chef, was crowned Young Talent 2020 by the Gault & Millau guide .

The Lyon restaurant Culina Hortus, of which he is the executive chef, has been named the best vegetarian restaurant in the world by the

We're Smart

guide

.

Aged 26, Adrien was trained in the Loire and started his career with starred chef Julien Thomasson.

Yohei Hosaka, 37, moved to France in 2009, starting with a season in Gérald Passedat's three-star restaurant in Marseille, then worked with David Senia.

His apprenticeship continued near Courchevel in the kitchens of Chabichou, a two-star restaurant, where he was promoted to second.

After a visit to Carcassonne, he ended up putting his bags down on the shores of Lake Annecy.

In November, he took the helm of La Ciboulette in order to restore the Michelin star lost in 2018.
