Rising star of gastronomy, Mallory Gabsi, emblematic candidate of the eleventh edition of the show Top chef, passed a milestone in his life as a man a few weeks ago. On January 30, 2024, the 27-year-old from Ixelles became a father for the first time. News that his partner, Estelle Maenhout Lackova, did not fail to announce on social networks. “9 months of impatience, hours of pain and fatigue, having you in our arms… Yes, you are finally here. On January 30, 2024, you gave us the most difficult, but most incredible role of our life. An immeasurable love that the three of us now share. Welcome to our sonAslan Gabsi”, she wrote on her Facebook account while sharing some family photos.
Mallory Gabsi and Estelle Lackova have obviously chosen a very original first name for their eldest. Indeed, Aslan is a first name of Turkish origin which translates to “lion” and means “brave man”. This one is probably familiar to you, because it is a very important character in the saga Narnia. Now a father, the restaurateur has, for his part, not yet wanted to share any photos of his offspring on his Instagram account. He seems, like many personalities, to prefer discretion. A way to protect his son.
A brilliant career
As a reminder, Mallory Gabsi won over viewers by participating in the 11th season of Top chef in 2020. The young man had also reached the semi-final before being eliminated. Exit the famous competition, he embarked on ephemeral projects. He also joined Philippe Etchebest in

before finding a place in the industry. To this day, he is at the head of a Parisian restaurant and can boast of having won a star in the Michelin Guide as well as the Young Chef of the Year Award in 2023.
