11/17/2022

CHEF side: Alexandre Vaessen

This 34-year-old Belgian chef, father of two, worked in the restaurant Comme chez soi (party leader) and La villa in the sky (sous-chef) before joining La canne en ville as sous-chef, with Kévin Lejeune.

SOMMELIER side: Jonathan Torralba Rodriguez

Jonathan Torralba is Belgian, he is 27 years old.

" We have been friends since 2016, when we arrived at La villa in the sky. Alexandre was sous-chef, I was an apprentice waiter. I stayed a year and a half before going to La villa lorraine. We have always kept in touch. After 2 years at La villa lorraine, I found a place as sommelier at Kevin Lejeune, and Alexandre joined me as a sous-chef.

We have often worked on food and wine pairings but never on food and cocktail pairings, which is why we participate in this competition."
