Yves Camdeborde

Yves Camdeborde is the chef and owner of Le Comptoir du Relais, one of Paris’ most acclaimed restaurants, located in the Relais Saint Germain hotel. In 1992, he transformed the Paris dining scene with his restaurant La Régalade, where he served haute food at bistro prices and inspired the “bistronomic” food movement. This weekend at the Le Fooding d’Amour Paris-New York at PS1 Contemporary Art Center, he will be preparing mini Henry IV casseroles with creamed cow’s cheese.
