World's Best Chef Not Good Enough for Washed up Pop Star
Any food snob would give their left taste buds for a chance to dine at Alain Ducasse's eponymous restaurant at the Plaza Athénée in Paris. Sure, the City of Lights has plenty of restaurants that claim to be the best of the best, but really, when it comes to French dining, Ducasse is it.
Which is why we were so tickled by a Kitchen Rat item on Ricky Martin, which claims that when the Menudo star stayed at Athénée recently, he called down to let them know he wouldn't be needing Ducasse's services--but would instead be sending down his own private chef.
Needless to say, Ducasse's three-Michelin-starred brigade wasn't too happy at the prospect of sharing their kitchen with a celebrity's cook.
As it turns out, though, they were reportedly impressed by Ricky's chef:
Rather than some arrogant American health freak a lovely, rotund, 60-something Puerto Rican lady arrived and knocked them all off their feet with her Latin charm.
