Jean-Louis Palladin

French chef

Jean-Louis Palladin (May 7, – November 25, )[1] was a French-born chef who introduced French Nouvelle cuisine to the Washington elite at his restaurant, Jean-Louis at the Watergate, and influenced a generation of French and American chefs.[2]

Early life

Jean-Louis Palladin was born on May 7, ,[3] in the small town of Condom, Gers in southwestern France.[4]

Palladin attended culinary school in Toulouse and then worked in the kitchen of an Italian restaurant in Condom.[5] The owner of the restaurant recognized Palladin's talent, and together they created a new restaurant, La Table des Cordeliers, where Palladin, at 28 years of age, would become the youngest chef in France to earn two Michelin stars.[4]

Jean-Louis at the Watergate

In , Palladin was recruited to the United States to open a restaurant at the Watergate hotel.[2]Jean-Louis at the Watergate soon became the "in" place for Washington's politicians and socialites.[5] Its reputation blossomed during the Ronald Reagan administration, when many of President Reagan's associates from California moved into apartments at the Watergate and made Jean-Louis their regular meeting place.[2] President Reagan celebrated his 70th birthday at Jean-Louis at an intimate party that included actor Jimmy Stewart.[2]

Palladin sought to incorporate American ingredients on his menu: "The challenge of cooking in America," he said in , "is to discover the newest and best products from the different states -- baby eels and lamprey from Maine, fresh snails from Oregon, blowfish from the Carolinas and California oysters -- and then to learn how to integrate them into your cuisine."[4] Jean-Louis became a destination for other prominent French and American chefs, such as Julia Child, Thomas Keller, and Daniel Boulud.[2]Éric Ripert worked under Palladin at the Watergate for a few years.[4]

For his cooking at the Watergate, Palladin won two James Beard Awards, including Outstanding Chef of [2] The restaurant never made a significant profit, however, due to its small size and expensive ingredients - Jean-Louis closed on June 15, [6]
