Pierre Troisgros Dies at 92 | Eater
"Originally opened as the Hotel Moderne in 1930 and renamed in the mid-1950s, this family-run restaurant rose to international prominence after the brothers who took it over shifted toward a lighter, ingredient-focused style that helped pave the way for nouvelle cuisine. It earned its first Michelin star within two years of the renaming and reached three stars by 1968, a rating it impressively held for 52 consecutive years. The operation is now run by the founder’s son, Michel, and grandsons, Cesar and Leo, who in 2017 moved the restaurant from Roanne into a villa five miles outside the city in Ouches. The family also operates an outpost in Tokyo and two more casual concepts, and the establishment is widely regarded as a cornerstone of modern French gastronomy." - Erin DeJesus
