It was in February 2008, Grégory Cuilleron caused a sensation by becoming the winner of the first issue of “Un dinner almost perfect”, broadcast on M6. A success that would allow this 42-year-old cook born with agenesis, depriving him of his left forearm, to chain participation in cooking shows.
Columnist in the M6 program presented by Cyril Lignac “MIAM: My invitation to eat”, candidate in “Pékin Express: The Mystery Passenger”, presenter of the program “La Tournée des Popotes” on France 5, host of “Chez Rémy: Everyone Can Cook” on the Disney Channel, so many enriching experiences for those who were refused military medicine because of their disability. But the most significant will undoubtedly remain his participation in the first season of “Top Chef” in 2010, although he was quickly eliminated.
Grégory Cuilleron returned to “TPMP People” on Saturday on his adventure, which was also marked by terrible comments at the time on social networks because of his disability. “I had a lot of thoughts following the broadcast of the show. I was told that it was freaking hot to see me cooking with my stump. It kinda pissed me off. It was on social networks so well, when people are masked, they say a bit of everything and anything. At the time, it bothered me a bit and afterwards I thought it was a nice bunch of besotted”, he lamented. An anecdote that upset Matthieu Delormeau who then concluded: “Social networks, I started to be happy when I stopped reading them. So stop all that”.
