Pierre Troisgros (3 September 1928[1] – 23 September 2020)[2] was a French chef and restaurateur, best known for his restaurant Frères Troisgros.[3] Pierre Troisgros and his brother continued their father's restaurant Hôtel Moderne,[4] where they invented "Escalope de saumon à l’oseille Troisgros," or salmon with sorrel sauce, which became their signature dish.[5] At the time of his death, he had set a record by never losing his three Michelin stars once he was first awarded them.[5] Stephen Harris for the Telegraph described him "the father of nouvelle cuisine."[6]
