Montréal, March 10th, 2015 – In 2015, a new international event will honour French gastronomy: Goût de / Good France. This international event will gather on March 19, 2015, over 1,000 chefs from the 5 continents to celebrate French gastronomy and cuisine.
In 1912, Auguste Escoffier started Les Dîners d’Épicure (Epicurean Diners): one day, one menu, served in cities around the world, to as many guests as possible. In 2015, Goût de/Good France takes the idea further, bringing all categories of restaurants together globally. This international event will mark the first concrete demonstration of French cuisine’s recent listing in the “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity” category by UNESCO, and its influence on the world.
