Following receipt of the award, recognized by leading French Chefs such as Paul Bocuse, Joël Robuchon and Pierre Troisgros, Alain is now considered to be a �French Ambassador� entitled to wear the blue, white and red collar chef�s jacket. But, as it is a lifetime award, he is no longer permitted to enter future culinary competitions in France. Renowned for its cuisine; Alain has worked at Dolce Chantilly since September 1997.
