A week after the tragic death of Antoine Alléno, a new drama has just struck French gastronomy. Thomas Chisholm, top chef candidate discovered in 2021 during the twelfth season of the program, was seriously injured by a knife attack in Paris on the night of Sunday to Monday May 16, 2022. The vital prognosis for the young 31-year-old chef would be engaged and a suspect, an employee of the Franco-American, was arrested. The facts would have taken place at the level of the passage of Gergovie located in the XIVth arrondissement.
Eliminated after the ninth bonus from the M6 show, the young man was proud of his career. “I’d rather hold my head high, cooking, than cooking dishes just to win events. I am proud to have approached Top Chef in this way“, he confided during an interview delivered to the Parisian, proud of”getting feedback on your cooking, whether it’s positive points or comments that people have made to me, it helps to build yourself as a cook“. Since his passage noticed in “Top chef”, Thomas Chisholm had opened a restaurant in the 10th arrondissement of the capital, called Chocho.
Known to the general public for his participation in the biggest culinary competition of the PAF, Thomas Chisholm had also pushed Wilfried Romain, candidate for the thirteenth season of Top Chef to also register and measure himself against the fine flower of gastronomy .
“It’s my friend Thomas [Chisholm, ndlr] who participated in the previous season of Top Chef which prompted me to try the experiment“, had first entrusted Wilfried Romain to our colleagues from Gala.fr, before explaining: “One day, he said to me: ‘Go ahead, register, you really have something to show through your travels’. As a result, registrations, castings, filming and television. I remember very well the call telling me that I was taken. I confess that I did not really believe it. Then it all happened very quickly..“
