Americans Vote for Sofitel New York Chef

On popular US TV show Chopped Sylvain Harribey , Sofitel New York Chef, was announced as the winner.

The French Chef of the Gaby restaurant competed with three well-known Chefs in the finals. His creative take on classic French fare like such as “tarte tatin” and Red Mullet made him a firm favourite with the judges who were keen to recompense the Chef for the precision of his cuisine.

Hailing from Bordeaux in France, Sylvain Harribey joined the Sofitel New York teams in 2009 after a stint at Sofitel Philadelphia.
