What can Alain Ducasse, the little boy from the Landes who has become the most recognized chef and mentor of cooking in the world today, be looking for? What is a man looking for who seems to have everything already? 23 restaurants in the world, 18 Michelin stars, Alain Ducasse never stops creating restaurants that please our time, pushing the boundaries of his profession towards new horizons, his curiosity has no limits.
