Bertrand Chemel: 2941

When 14-year-old Bertrand Chemel walked into the bakery near his
grandmother's home in France, his life changed forever. Summers
at the bakery turned into a more formal kitchen education at
culinary school in France. With a degree in hand and military
service behind him, Chemel landed at one the finest restaurants
in France — Michel Gaudin's restaurant in the Alps. What followed
was a culinary adventure that eventually led Chemel to the United
States and his current restaurant 2941 in Falls Church, Virginia.


Chef Chemel's restaurant was recently nominated as the most
Outstanding Restaurant in the United States by the James Beard
Foundation. 2941 is the only restaurant in Virginia to make the
semi-final round in that category. What makes the experience at
2941 special enough to earn such a prestigious nomination? Chef
Chemel discusses his food, his family, and his leadership style
in the kitchen with Scott Wise and Robey Martin on the latest
episode of Eat It, Virginia!
