There are meals that leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth and not necessarily because of a bad seasoning ... This is what the designer Jul tells in Laurent Mariotte's program, "La Table des bons vivants" .
He ended up by mistake in an openly racist restaurant in Chile.
The designer Jul was the guest of Laurent Mariotte in the show
La Table des bons vivants
this weekend.
The opportunity for the artist to come back to one of the worst meals of his life ... An experience worthy of an epic à la Lucky Luke - hero of which he wrote some volumes - and which Jul would have done well without .
"I had bonded with people while traveling," says the designer.
"It was a family, the husband was a surgeon and they invited me to their table in a fancy resort with a golf course. It was actually a semi-Nazi club where it was clearly marked at the entrance. that it was forbidden to Jews and Arabs. Let's not talk about blacks. "
Shock.

"A bitterness in the mouth"
"It takes your appetite off. Whatever the taste of the grill, I can assure you it has bitterness in the mouth," says Jul.
"I'm telling you this, it was just 15 years ago in Chile, it was in the midst of 'pinochetism'."
An experience from which Jul was certainly inspired in the new volume of Lucky Luke which speaks,
in fine,
of racism in the United States.
An album that sadly echoes the news since the country is still today plagued by racist thoughts, especially with police blunders as with the George Floyd affair.
