Koki Philip Tessier membahas tantangan America’s Culinary Cup, restorannya, dan mentoring

Pasca tayang perdana America’s Culinary Cup di CBS—di mana koki elit AS bersaing memperebutkan US$1 juta—peserta Philip Tessier, veteran Bocuse d’Or, membandingkan format TV dengan kompetisi internasional, merefleksikan kepemimpinannya di PRESS Restaurant di Napa Valley, dan menekankan mentoring generasi berikutnya.

Setelah debut pada 4 Maret 2026 di CBS (episode tayang Rabu pukul 9:30 malam ET/PT setelah Survivor 50, streaming di Paramount+), America’s Culinary Cup menampilkan hidangan yang canggih secara teknis, dinilai berdasarkan prinsip kuliner seperti inovasi dan keberlanjutan, dipandu oleh Padma Lakshmi dengan juri Michael Cimarusti dan Wylie Dufresne. Philip Tessier, yang bertanding di Bocuse d’Or dan melatih tim AS meraih medali emas pertama, menyoroti perbedaan utama: “Bocuse d’Or adalah kompetisi yang sangat menantang... [kutipan lengkap dipertahankan]. Dalam program final kami, kami menampilkan 40 resep berbeda dan menggunakan 130 bahan, tetapi sepanjang proses latihan, kami mengembangkan lebih dari 100 resep.” Tessier bergabung dalam acara untuk mempromosikan karyanya: “Daya tarik utama bagi saya adalah kesempatan untuk menceritakan kisah kami tentang apa yang kami lakukan untuk berdampak pada industri perhotelan di PRESS dan Under-Study, serta peluang untuk menginspirasi koki muda lain dan menjangkau audiens lebih luas melalui acara ini.” Di PRESS Restaurant di Napa Valley, Tessier mengambil alih selama masa transisi setelah kematian pendiri Leslie Rudd. Bersama pasangannya Samantha Rudd, ia telah membangun tempat yang kolaboratif dan berbasis bahan baku: “PRESS sedang menjalani transisi besar saat saya mengambil alih... Sungguh luar biasa melihat kemajuan yang telah kami capai selama enam tahun terakhir, tapi rasanya masih seperti kami baru mulai.” Mentoring menjadi ciri khas pendekatannya: “Tanpa bimbingan, pengetahuan, teknik, dan pemahaman 'mengapa' di balik tindakan kami akan hilang. Tujuan kami adalah memastikan generasi berikutnya melampaui pencapaian kami... [kutipan lengkap].” Ia terinspirasi dari nasihat awal karier untuk mengejar keunggulan, yang mendorong pembelajaran seumur hidup. Perspektif Tessier memperkaya liputan seri ini, yang menampilkan bintang lain seperti peraih medali Bocuse d’Or dan pemenang James Beard.
