Ever wanted to understand the working of a Michelin star Chef, (and a French one at that)? Ever wanted to hear the blueprint and the steps that have worked for such a chef? If the answer is yes then this episode of our Joint Dynamics podcast is for you. Meet the incredibly accomplished, passionate business owner and chef Olivier Elzer.  Olivier has been mentored by the likes of Joel Robuchon, Jean-Yves Leuranguer, and once named one of the top 22 best young chef’s in France by the guide Gault Millau.  He is the current Culinary Director of L’ENV’OL at the St Regis Hotel in Hong Kong and the Founder and creator of his restaurant Clarence here in Hong Kong Tune in to Olivier’s thoughts, processes and his step by step recipe for success in creating and maintaining a successful, Michelin star worthy, restaurant. Olivier breaks down the origin of Michelin Stars, simple yet complicated methods for achieving Michelin stars, the people that work for Michelin and the role and life of someone who “works” as a consumer to grade and grant Michelin Star status. We also discuss his love of the food producers and farmers he has long term relationships with (some 25 years!) and his desire to spend more time in one of the beautiful regions of Japan, and the parallels he finds as a practicing martial artist to being a top chef.
