Chef Jean Pierre Bosc, Kendall’s Brasserie, the best from the Heart of France

Lyon-born Chef Jean Pierre is right at home in a French Brasserie

Jean Pierre Bosc, the former owner of the now shuttered Cafe des Artistes and Mimosa, boasts a Michelin-star heavy history that includes a job at Jean Paul Lacombe’s Leon de Lyon plus stints with fellow French chef luminaries, including Paul Bocuse, Michel Chabran, and Michel Rostang, the latter two later sharing his kitchen over guest stints at Santa Monica’s former Fennel. Bosc says in a statement that he’d missed the kitchen, finding that “So much of being a restaurateur required me to step away from what I loved best- cooking.” His own charcuterie menu plus dishes like a Cod Brandade Cake with piquillo pepper coulis and Marseille bouillabaisse have become signatures of his menu.

Ethnic cuisine menus these days incorporate local, fresh ingredients. French Kendall’s Brasserie not only does this famously, but also regularly honors the show-in-residence at the AhmansonTheatre next door with special ethnic dishes on the menu.  Executive Chef Jean Pierre Bosc  is just the one to pull this off with classic flair that reflects both the distinctive touches he brings from his hometown in Lyon, France.
