It is Hugo Riboulet who wins this 14th season of The best chef, after the final broadcast on M6 this Wednesday, June 7. He succeeds Louis Bourrat, winner of the previous edition.
The two candidates faced each other during the traditional test dinner for a hundred Red Cross volunteers at the George V in Paris.
Hugo Riboulet, 23, had a more classical career than Danny Khezzar on the show. Put into resignations during the “elimination round”, in the tenth week, the young chef from the Drôme regularly ranked during each broadcast. “I had a hard time getting into the competition, getting my bearings, I was under pressure,” said the sous-chef at Clos des Sens, a 3-star establishment in Annecy in Haute-Savoie, on RTL’s Top Chef podcast. If he was considered the favorite in the culinary competition, Hugo felt some pressure.
“I was under pressure, I didn’t want to do anything. He wanted to fight to the end. I am a competitive person, I do not like to lose. I really wanted to go.”
A specialist in vegetables and fish, he was less comfortable with meat dishes.
Danny Khezzar, 26, has had an amazing career for his part in The best chef this season. the deputy chief of bay view At Ambilly in Haute-Savoie, the Rosny-sous-Bois native managed the feat of getting back into the race after his elimination in week two. He then he beat all the candidates in the parallel competition orchestrated by Hélène Darroze, the “hidden brigade”, to re-enter the competition and qualify for the semifinal and then the final. She missed one last step to win the show.
A virtuoso of technique, he proved to be very comfortable in the molecular cooking test in week 14. “Danny is an outstanding technician, he is almost unbeatable in technique,” declared Hélène Darroze in the semifinal.
The M6 program, which was very popular during the Covid crisis, with a peak audience of more than 4 million viewers, suffers some erosion and is around 2 million viewers.
