	Bernard Loiseau
		Bernard was too engrossed with his cooking to pay much attention, so he left that part to me. I was sure it would work, and it did.

		Bernard Loiseau was one of only twenty-five French chefs to hold Europe's highest culinary award, three stars in the Michelin Red Guide, and only the second chef to be personally awarded the Legion of Honor by a head of state.
		Loiseau's emphasis on absolute freshness and the eloquent simplicity of his preparations was, in the author's estimate, "classical French cooking" divested of its extraneous fluorishes.
		The Perfectionist is the saga of Bernard Loiseau, big, outwardly gregarious and confident, inwardly shy and insecure, whose traveling salesman father apprentices him, as a teenager, to the chef at his favorite restaurant.

		Bernard Loiseau, whose restaurant and inn La Côte d'Or in Saulieu, Burgundy, is one of the undisputed temples of Gallic haute cuisine, was found dead in his bedroom on Monday afternoon, his hunting rifle by his side.
		Loiseau, they pointed out, had managed to retain his priceless three stars in the Michelin Red Guide, but ended up losing a devastating two points in France's rival foodie bible, GaultMillau, falling from 19/20 last year to 17/20 in the 2003 guide.
		Loiseau, who once said he wanted to be to haute cuisine what Pele was to football, was a self-made man who trained with the celebrated Frère Troisgros at Roanne.

		Loiseau's energy was demonic and his ego was vast, but it was also terribly fragile.
		Madame Loiseau says that he and his sisters are taking the last punishment their father inflicted on them as well as could be expected, helped by the nuns who teach them and the Catholic religion they profess.

	eG Forums -> What Bernard Loiseau Left Behind (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		What is interesting about Groupe Loiseau is that outside investors paid for a share in the fortunes of an establishment that, by most accounts, was almost entirely driven by one man. In general, investing in someone else's human capital has proven a bad idea for investors.
		Loiseau has no progeny in a position to take over the kitchen, unlike Pierre Troisgros (remember he lost his brother, but because there were two running the operation the restaurant barely skipped a beat) who has a son, Michel, in firm control; or Georges Blanc who has two sons working in the kitchen.
		Unfortunately the die was cast when Bernard Loiseau acquired the restaurant in Saulieu, which had a bad location in terms of both transportation and touristic resources.

	French chefs should stop whining about the Michelin Guide. By Mike Steinberger
		Loiseau: Not felled by a falling starReacting to the suicide last Monday of fellow culinary kingpin Bernard Loiseau, Paul Bocuse and other top French chefs skipped the shock and went straight for the scapegoating, blaming his death on merciless, mercurial critics.
		Loiseau's contribution to the French canon was cuisine a l'eau, in which sauces are fashioned from water, natural juices, and oils, with less emphasis on butter and cream.
		Loiseau's suicide and the controversy surrounding it have led some commentators here to conclude that the American restaurant scene is infinitely better off for not being subjected to Michelin's scrutiny.

		For several consecutive days Loiseau’s death—no, not Loiseau’s death, Loiseau’s suicide, that was the part that was so staggering—continued to be the lead story in papers and prime-time TV shows from one end of the country to the other, shouldering aside George W. Bush, Saddam Hussein, and Donald Rumsfeld.
		This was Bernard Loiseau the chef, arguably the most famous in France (and therefore the world), a man whose name-recognition score among the French general population—nine out of ten—was of presidential proportions.
		Bernard Loiseau, cooking in the very same kitchen forty years later, was destined to ride an exhilarating wind of triumph when it was his turn to be perfectly in tune with the latest avatars of taste and fashion, doing his part to change them and even, for a few giddy years, seeming to dictate them.

		Loiseau had not exactly come up the hard way -- his origins were scarcely so modest as he liked to portray them -- but he worked very, very hard, and he never stopped.
		More than that, Loiseau was bipolar, "the currently accepted term for what medical people used to call the manic-depressive syndrome." During his early career the depressive side of his disorder rarely manifested itself, and not for long when it did; he was cheerful, funny and hard-working around-the-clock.
		Loiseau, a lightly educated and seemingly unteachable young boy is apprenticed with the very famous chefs Jean and Pierre Troisgros, whose restaurant in Roanne, along with Paul Bocuse outside of Lyon, were the two leading centers for the development of `nouvelle cuisine'.

		Back then, a few years after he had received his 3rd Michelin star, he immediately became our favorite chef both for his warm and generous personality as well as his culinary talents and the transformation and enlargement of both the restaurant and the hotel.
		Bernard Loiseau has, slowly over the years, bought buildings on either side so that by the time of his death, he owned a horse shoe shaped building with the garden cozy in the middle.

		Several of Loiseau's friends blamed the chef's suicide on a GaultMillau downgrade and on newspaper reports, which proved unfounded, that he was in danger of losing a Michelin star.
