The 15ᵉ edition of Top Chef revealed many culinary talents, among whom Jorick Dorignac particularly stood out in Stéphanie Le Quellec's brigade. After weeks of intense competition, Jorick won the competition, much to the delight of his mentor. Stéphanie Le Quellec, impressed by Jorick's talent and passion, decided to offer him a key position within her restaurant group.
" I am delighted to announce the arrival of Jorick Dorignac as Executive Chef of the Maisons Le Quellec group in October," said Stéphanie Le Quellec on Instagram. This announcement follows a season of Top Chef in which viewers were able to observe the evolution of their professional relationship, based on mutual respect and a unique culinary complementarity.
Stéphanie Le Quellec was won over by Jorick's background, who began his culinary career at the age of 14, just like her. " Our two worlds, though different, feed off each other, giving rise to a unique culinary understanding," she explained. This collaboration is the fruit of several months' thought, in which Stéphanie wanted to integrate someone with whom she shares a sincere connection.
Jorick Dorignac is equally enthusiastic about joining Les Maisons Le Quellec: " Working with Les Maisons Le Quellec is a logical step for me. I'm very enthusiastic about the idea of bringing my experience and my world to this great new family.
As Executive Chef, Jorick Dorignac will join the strong brigades of the group's three restaurants. His role will be to support the current chefs, participate in research and development (R&D) missions, and act as Stéphanie Le Quellec's double in the group's development.
This new collaboration promises fine culinary creations and an enriching synergy for Les Maisons Le Quellec. The chemistry between Jorick and Stéphanie, evident during their time on Top Chef, will undoubtedly translate into new gastronomic innovations, further enriching the group's restaurant offering.
Best is coming, as Stéphanie Le Quellec puts it, and we can't wait to discover the new creations to come from this exceptional partnership.
