From food truck to Michelin star

Bringing fire onto your menu.

You want to add barbecue to your concept, build a proper live-fire offer, or get your team past a plateau. I work with you using a method adapted to your level, your equipment and your service constraints.

No generic recipes, no training in a vacuum. What needs working on gets worked on at your station, with your equipment, under your service conditions — because that's where the problems actually happen, and nowhere else.

Three ways to call on me

12 weeks · remote

Coaching

To build a barbecue concept end to end. Progressive, strategic and technical — one-to-one support, at your own pace, without blocking your diary.

  • Your menu, your concept, your equipment
  • Your cooks, your seasoning, your organisation
  • Your visibility, your consistency, your positioning
  • Video calls, individual follow-up and private material
On site · across Europe

Immersion

I come to your premises. Training the team, taming a specific piece of equipment, or bringing a live-fire offer into a kitchen that is already running.

  • Your teams trained on your equipment, in your conditions
  • A menu rethought for fire, for margin, for coherence
  • Offset, kamado, pellet, fire pit, plancha — whatever you own
  • The cook-to-service organisation, which decides everything else
  • Outside Europe: possible, case by case
One-off · video call

One call's worth

One precise question, one decision to make: an investment, a menu to arbitrate, a cook that won't hold up in service. We book a call, you leave with an answer.

  • One hour, with no obligation to continue
  • Billed hourly, the rate given before we set a date
  • On equipment: no affiliate links, no commission
  • Including the answer “what you have is enough”
Why me

I know the floor, not just the theory

I know what a low-and-slow service feels like when it goes wrong, the beginner's mistakes, the badly placed investments, the badly built menus. And I know what the right advice at the right moment changes.

  • Qualified chef, restaurant and catering
  • Former teacher and workshop lead — a method for passing things on, not a talent to watch
  • Twice runner-up French barbecue champion, 2024 and 2025
  • In 2026, judge at the France BBQ Masters and European ambassador for the BBQ World Cup
  • 25 years of cooking with fire, every day
  • Every kind of kit: kamado, pellet, offset, fire pit, kettle, plancha
  • Co-founder of the EBU Crew, a pitmaster collective active in seven countries

You arrive with a concept, an ambition, a constraint or a piece of equipment. My job is to turn it into something solid, structured and profitable.

How we start

A conversation first, a proposal after

01You tell me where you stand: the place, the equipment, the team, what's stuck
02I tell you honestly whether it's for me, and in what format
03A written proposal: content, duration, dates, budget

Let's check it fits your project

The format, the availability, what it would look like at your place: the fastest route is to talk about it directly.
