Chef Georges Perrier Tribute Dinner

Last month the Chaine des Rotisseurs (The world’s oldest and largest Food & Wine Society)
celebrated the most famous Chef and restaurant in the history of our city! Chef Georges Perrier and Le
Bec-Fin at the Bistro Perrier at The Restaurant School with 70 friends, and family members in attendance.

Two of Perrier’s closest friends, dinner chair Dr. Bruce B. Zappan and Danny Liberatoscioli, president of Walnut Hill College, spent over six months preparing for the gala, which featured the chef’s classic dishes along with the legendary wines that paired so well with his cuisine. Chef was looking good despite suffering a near death experience in 2018 when he had a massive heart attack. (Philly Mag)
