At the annual gathering of Franceโs finest chefs for the Michelin Guide awards this year, the talk was not only about whose restaurants had gained or lost a star.
โEveryoneโs discussing AI. I was at a table of 12 other chefs, and it was the main thing we talked about,โ Matan Zaken, who runs the one-Michelin-star Nhome restaurant in Paris, said at the event at the end of March.
โYouโd be amazed to know how many people are using it. There are a lot of egos in the business. Theyโre not going to make a big thing about it,โ he said.
Zaken has made a point of openly embracing the technology, which he says has the potential to produce surprising new pairings of ingredients, offering the possibility of palate-twisting discoveries for diners.
