Who will climb to the roof of the world and be crowned the undisputed king of pâté-croute? In the game of predictions, one nation immediately stands out from the crowd: Japan. Nothing surprising. The country has won the last three world championships, under the nose of its French competitors, although they are well ranked.
But the cards will be reshuffled this Monday.
The competition resumes with a vengeance in Lyon. France is banking on seven candidates including Lyonnais Jérémy Crauser, silver medalist last year, and Antonin Roux who works behind the stoves of La Mère Brazier, a Lyon institution with two Michelin stars. The prize list will be revealed at the end of the day.
