Nicholas le Bec is a former two Michelin star French chef who plied his trade in Lyon to often rave reviews. Many saw the boyish-looking le Bec as an enfant prodige quite likely to nail three stars one day. Things didn’t quite work out that way as le Bec moved first towards simpler, larger brasserie style concepts such as Rue le Bec and Comptoir le Bec then abruptly skipped town in 2012 altogether to move to Shanghai (China is his wife’s home country).
