Gregory Cuilleron is back on television this Monday, January 10, 2022. The chef was revealed to the general public in 2008 during his participation in An almost perfect dinner subsequently seen in the first season of Top chef in 2010, won by Romain Tischenko. From now on, it is in another program of M6 that it appears, namely Incognito boss. His cooking skills are well established. A victory for Grégory Cuilleron, suffering from a visible handicap.
The leader has agenesis of the left forearm, this means that the limb has not developed. A non-disabling congenital malformation. Grégory Cuilleron is also human proof! From a very young age, he has acted and lived everyday without difficulty. He even made a name for himself in the culinary world. “I was born like this. I never felt disabled… I mean this one never stopped me from doing anything and therefore was never disabling“, he says on his official website.
In June 2020, during an interview for Franceinfo, he conceded that it was difficult for him to say that “in retrospect his birth may have been a source of pain“.”I think that in the family, there are two-three who perhaps cried, who must have been a little sad, because precisely, they did not know“, continues the chef who lived in a”normal family“.
It was during his first television appearance that the former candidate of Top chef was surprised to be described as disabled, as he says on his official website: “The worst part is that it took television out of my anonymity for viewers to give me an image of a handicapped person. I received many testimonials after the cooking shows in which I participated. Thus, the daily tasks since my childhood had become, the time of a few broadcasts, acts of bravery. Strange … I have no feeling of revenge but all of this made me realize that I had the possibility to act.“
Today, Grégory Cuilleron has already published several books on cooking, presents himself on social networks and on his website as “cook, TV host, author“engaged in”awareness of children in the kitchen” and “fervent believer in a policy of inclusion and better living together“.
