Chez Jean-Pierre in Palm Beach: A Few Questions for Chef Chef Jean-Pierre Leverrier

Chef Clay Conley has paired up with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign. On Sunday October 28, at Buccan, he is holding a charity dinner. Sounds like quite the offer from the James Beard nominated chef. Right?

Well, it gets even better. Conley has invited a handful of star chefs to collaborate on the menu, as well: Lindsay Autry, Top Chef Texas contestant; Paula DaSilva of 1500 Degrees, Miami Beach; Jean-Pierre Leverrier of Chez Jean-Pierre, Palm Beach; and Ken Vedrinski of Trattoria Lucca, Charleston, SC. With all of that star power, we figured we would drop in on one of our local chefs to have a chat. We chat and play fill in the blanks with Chef Jean-Pierre after the jump.

Bangers 'N Cash

Veteran Executive Chef Kevin Gaudreau, modernist Chef de Partie Janet Kim (from Gordon Ramsay’s The London) and upstart Executive Chef Chris Calcagno throw a gastropub themed dinner party. In attempts to capture this hot culinary trend, Rocco’s chefs must elevate British pub food without the stuffy air of fine dining. Even more challenging will be to convince British television host Cat Deeley that she’s not far from home. Guests include actress Raven Symone, actor Christopher McDonald, founder and creative director of Desiron, Frank Carfaro, New York Times food writer Amanda Hesser and restaurateur Ken Oringer.
