  French rule in Algeria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A distinction soon developed between the grands colons (great colonists) at one end of the scale, often self-made men who had accumulated large estates or built successful businesses, and the petits blancs (little whites), smallholders and workers at the other end, whose lot was often not much better than that of their Muslim counterparts.
In the "mixed" communes, where Muslims were a large majority, government was in the hands of appointed and some elected officials, including representatives of the grands chefs (great chieftains) and a French administrator.
He instituted the so-called politics of the grands chefs to deal with the Muslims directly through their traditional leaders.

The popularity of these "star chefs" is well out of proportion to their skill levels, and certainly to their contribution to society as a whole, or any segment thereof.
The three star chefs are personalities in France just as great ball players are in the US, but my impression is that fewer Frenchmen eat in their restaurants than the number of Americans who go to a professional football game in the US.
they are, on the other hand, tremendously proud of their grands chefs, they like to discuss their merits, often pretending to know more than they probably do, and of course this is why those chefs keep appearing in the media.
