The event took place at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs near Invalides, in Paris, and I was the only Brazilian journalist to attend the award ceremony. A glamorous night, for guests only, in a true art deco palace. I had the chance to meet true idols, that is, some of the most renowned chefs in the world, who I have followed and appreciated for years – chefs and restaurants.
