    Before the the french revolution great chefs were employed by houses of french nobility. With the revolution and the end of the monarchy, many chefs, suddenly out of work, opened restaurants in and around Paris to support themselves. At the start of the french revolution, there were about fifty restaurants in Paris. Ten years later, there were about five hundred. Another important invention that changed the organization of kitchens in the eighteenth century was the stove. This innovation gave cooks a more practical and controllable heat source than an open fire. Soon enough commercial kitchens became divided into three departments: the rotisserie, under the control of the meat chef; the oven, under control of the pastry chef; and the stove, run by the cook. All the changes that took place in the world of cooking during the 1700's led to, for the first time, a difference between home cooking and professional cooking.…

He was a big man, over six feet tall, with a big belly, and huge hands. An endearing and always lively teacher, he loved people, loved his work, loved gossip, loved to eat, loved a good time.” This is what made him so renowned in the field of cooking, his love, passion, and willingness to learn as much as possible about culinary arts.
