On television, nothing escapes him, from entertainment programs like Top Chef or Koh-Lanta, to more serious ones like television news or debate shows, nothing escapes him. In short, everything related to the small screen and the media is his domain.
Since joining the “Top Chef” adventure, Paul Pairet has never taken off his hat. Indeed, the 59-year-old famous chef has a special relationship with this headgear. But he made an exception, revealing himself one fine day with his head bare. Enough to explain why it always appears with it now.

Already four years since Paul Pairet serves as brigade leader in Top chef. Indeed, during season 11 in 2020, he joined Hélène Darroze, Philippe Etchebest And Michel Sarran, since replaced by Glenn Viel.

And added: “When I change it, no one recognizes me. My cap is more famous than me.“He didn't think he was saying that well!
