Bass For Dinner at Chez Roux!

Master Chef and creator of our fine dining restaurant Chez Roux, Albert Roux had a successful fishing trip on Lake Conroe at La Torretta Lake Resort and Spa along with Garret Donovan and Bruno Valette. Makes me want to escape on the lake on a fishing excursion.

Is Reality TV Ruining Young Chefs?

Michelin-starred member and masterchef, Michel Roux Junior (father is Chez Roux's own Albert Roux), recently said in a Scotland publication that the overflow of reality television shows where would-be chefs compete is ruining the industry. Roux says that people need to remember that show hosts like Gordon Ramsey of Hell's Kitchen and Jamie Oliver of Naked Chef "sweated their nether regions off in the kitchen making their name first before they became celebrity chefs."
