Burgers and Chocolate by Chef Marc Chalopin

I found myself sitting down at one of the kitchen-slash-classrooms of Enderun Colleges in McKinley Hill. We were in a cooking demo headed by Chef Marc Chalopin, the executive chef of Alain Ducasse Formation (ADF) + Enderun. He started off by introducing himself, and the two dishes that he was going to make. I didn't pay attention at first (forgive me, Chef Marc!) but by the time the shrimp burgers were being fried, I intensely paid attention to the show kitchen until everything was done!



Rewinding a few steps back, Chef Marc Chalopin demonstrated how to make Shrimp Tartar Burgers and Chocolate Leigois. He started of with making chocolate ice cream for the Chocolate Leigois. Forgive me if I couldn't give proper recipes for the two dishes, I lost my copy! I think Roch has them. :)

Anyways, I didn't know that making good ice cream requires a lot of time and work! Just look at the overly creamy chocolate ice cream! I took a sample dip and it was like cumulus clouds were partying all over my mouth. It was that soft!



 

While Chef Marc churned more ice cream, his assistant made Nougatine.
