The Chaine des Rotisseurs launches in Moscow |
The international gastronomic society, the Society of the Chaine des Rotisseurs, has recently established its latest branch in Moscow under the presidency of Gianni van Daalen, Managing Director of the Hotel Balchug Kempinski. The Society held a Dinner Amical in mid April in Cafe des Artistes where Dolf Michel reigns supreme. His team produced a delectable five course meal which had more than a flavour of fresh asparagus flown in from France. Michel was inducted into Chain des Rotisseurs at the end of the gourmet meal in recognition of Michel’s pioneering work as a restaurateur in Moscow over the years.
The Chaine is present in 200 countries with over 90,000 members. The Moscow branch is the second in Russia, following the Society’s establishment in St Petersburg under the presidency of Thomas Noll, General Manager of the Grand Hotel Europe. Among the sponsors of the evening were Russia’s newest international wine producer, Domaine Burnier, Maker’s Mark bourbon and Cognac Kazumian.
Gianni van Daalen has May’s ‘The Last Word’ on the page, where he answers questions on the Chaine. |
