I don't quite know when but, at some point, I think I've turned into a Marcel Vigneron froupie. Whenever I hear the name "Marcel", part of me wants to squeal like a teenage girl at a Jonas Brothers concert. Maybe it's his engaging on-screen personality that makes my heart skip a beat or his iconic Wolverine-like hair that makes me melt? ...No - it's his food that brings out my inner froupie.

Someone explain to me how Marcel Vigneron was, until recently, only the sous chef at The Bazaar?
And while they’re at it, explain to me how Ilan beat him in Season 2 of Top Chef to win the title? I’ve eaten at The Gorbals and there really is no comparison. It’d be like Hosea Rosenberg beating Michael Voltaggio.
Okay, I exaggerate. But only just.
Speaking of Michael Voltaggio, I was at his Hatchi tasting in July and wondered how Marcel’s meal would measure up. After all, Marcel was Michael’s sous chef at The Bazaar until earlier this year.
Last night, Marcel more than held his own. His Hatchi tasting was close to flawless. Imaginative, exceptionally well executed, complex and, ultimately, totally satisfying. As good as, if not better than, meals I’ve had from more celebrated chefs in recent times.
Someone give this man his own restaurant. Or perhaps they already have.
Marcel opened his eight course tasting menu with an amuse bouche of a pomegranate blueberry spherification.
