The famous chef Philippe Etchebest could be laying down his knives in Lyon in the coming months. The iconic show Cauchemar en cuisine, aired on M6, is currently in full casting mode for its next season. And clearly, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region is on the radar. The principle remains the same: to assist struggling restaurateurs, analyze the issues, and try to get things back on track.
Struggling Restaurateurs: It's Your Turn!
The production is sending out a clear call: restaurateurs or customers, it's your time to shine!
s can report struggling establishments. Financial problems, poor management, tensions in the kitchen… anyone can apply. For several days, Philippe Etchebest arrives on the scene, observes, tastes, and doesn't hesitate to speak his mind. Spoiler: sometimes it stings more than Espelette pepper.Since its creation in 2011, Cauchemar en cuisine has saved several establishments, but not all. In the Lyon region, some restaurants sadly didn’t survive after the camera crew left. This is the case with Larmes de Bacchus, located at Place Bellecour, which closed its doors despite the chef's intervention. It just goes to show that even with a media boost, the recipe for success can still be hard to pin down.
An opportunity… or a last resort
Participating in the show can be a real chance to bounce back, but also a last resort.I risked it. Between media exposure and total questioning, the experience leaves no one indifferent. To apply, head to the official casting site. And one question hangs in the air: are you ready to hear the famous "who's the boss?" right in the middle of service?
