December, 2014.
Jung Il-woo was selected to do an event at the original La Mere Poulard in Mont Saint Michel in France, to help promote this restaurant’s newest franchise at the time: La Mere Poulard Seoul! La Mere Poulard opened in The Central City Mall in Gangnam Seoul on November 28, 2014.
Jung Il-woo travelled shortly after to France and had the great opportunity to mingle with cooks and even create his very own Il-woo menu. To top it all, he and the restaurant held a pro-charity event where he helped cook and personally served 100 customers! Get ready to delight in delicious food, and the most delicious man in the world!
La Mere Poulard… doesn’t the name sound like good food itself? To read the amazing story of how this restaurant came to be go HERE. It is a beautiful story full of love!
In a very short summary, a young woman named Annette who was a maid to an architect, started cooking for him. He realized that she was good at it and taught her what he knew. This architect was hired for the restoration of Mont Saint Michel. Annette and Victor (who she had just married) opened a small Inn in 1888. There Annette would cook the most amazing omelets for the architects and crew that worked on the restoration of Mont Saint-Michel. The word of her food and the beauty of Mont Sant-Michel spread and so did their business, to grow into the famous restaurant it is today with many incorporated Inns.
This are photos of Monet Saint Michel. He posted them in Instagram but I’m not sure he took them. The first one is in the Facebook photos of La Mere Poulard so…
This is a video of Mont Saint-Michel and La Mere Poulard:
