Heirloom's Chef Georges Perrier Collaboration

Heirloom's Chef/Owner Al Paris partnered with Georges Perrier to launch Paris' collaborative dinner series celebrating the region's culinary "heirlooms" on Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at Heirloom, located at 8705 Germantown Avenue in Chestnut Hill.
"Georges is a Philadelphia culinary icon, and a good friend and neighbor of the restaurant," said Paris. "We became friends when I was the chef at Circa across the street from Le Bec-Fin in the early 1990s, and have remained close ever since." The two hung out after work, hosted each others birthday celebrations, and did The Book And The Cook events as well as numerous other collaborations together.
Paris notes that "Georges is relaxed and the happiest I've ever seen him." Chef Perrier has been traveling since selling Le Bec-Fin last March. "This was one very special meal," said Perrier. "Without the stress of running the restaurant I've found my creative juices flowing. I'm excited to get back in the kitchen and to spend time with some old friends in the dining room."
