His name is actually spelled Bernard Loiseau (without the "x&quot and his restaurant closest to Lyon is called La Cote D'Or and is in the town of Saulieu in Burgundy.

Please forgive the x.

I read recently that the restaurant has retained its 3 stars in the new Michelin guide; Mme. Loiseau is now in charge.

Underhill:

Please, I don't have a problem with spelling errors on internet message boards. I've made mistakes on my own, especially on nouns. I just thought I'd chip in with my information.

Anyway, you are right. The restaurant had re-gained it's 3-stars a couple of months back. The whole corporation (in addition to the other restaurants in Paris and the food/boutique stores) is now headed by the wife. However, it was a long-time associate of Bernard Loiseau who took over as the head chef at La Cote D'Or. I believe his name was Patrick Bertron (sp?).

Just a follow-up.

Loiseau's restaurant did not lose it's 3-stars. From what I remember, it was just under review and that Loiseau, allegedly, killed himself thinking that it was going to be downgraded.

I just thought I 'd clarify and provide my agreement with Underhill's original statement.
