Welcome to Episode 2 of a new video series introducing French business owners, artisans and artists - and some of my favorite addresses in la Belle France.
Video in French. English subtitles.
🍔 🍔 🍔
France loves burgers!
What if I told you the world's best hamburger can be found in Tours, Loire Valley?
Join me as I chat with Chef Benoît Sanchez (aka "le Tatoué Toqué") in his restaurant located in Tours' historical center a few hundred yards away from renowned Place Plumereau.
Benoît is a true entrepreneur, a former expat and an experienced chef and business owner. He has many stories to tell and exciting projets to lead in the next few months.
And yes, he and the other members of the "French Burger Team" did place #1 at the World's Food Championships in Dallas, Tx. in 2023 ("Burger" category.)
Le Tatoué Toqué
Website: www.tatouetoque.fr/en/
Two locations: Tours Centre (Le Vieux Tours) and Tours Nord.
Here's a clever business name: Une toque = a chef's hat. Toqué (adjective, slang) = to be a little crazy :-)

Excellent interview. His French team winning the best burger in the world reminds me of the movie "Bottle Shock" that told the story of California wines winning the best wines award in a blind taste test against French wines and the judges were all French! Thanks for posting this story.

This was so interesting and put a smile on my face many times while watching! The history of the building‽ I look forward to visiting Tours and trying 2-3 of his burgers! I’m wondering if we might be able to tie in a visit over the Street Weekend when we head north to Ireland for a visit.

Véro, you never cease to amaze. Once again a fabulous interview. I am familiar with the chef because of the completion and the Tours connection....because of you. I am excited about the September festival and would love to be there, but that will not be the case this year. Indiana is close to my home state, so maybe a visit to the next burger competition with be possible. I could be your roving reporter!

Merci Véro et Benoît, I loved EVERYTHING about this interview. Where else but Tours would you be able to get a quality, local Hamburgeau and eat it in a former 1400's abbey? Great interview, really interesting story and the Parc des Expositions weekend is going to rock!!

This is so great, I wish I could go to the Street Food Experience! I am wondering if it would be possible to add close captions in French along with the English subtitles? NVM I just realized I can turn those on! Thanks for the great interview,
