It was a personal tragedy that prompted chef Yannick Alléno to commit himself to a cause that is now very close to his heart. On May 8, 2022, his son Antoine, also a cook, was hit on his way home from work by an individual under the influence of alcohol and drugs, driving a stolen car. Beyond their pain, Yannick Alléno and his wife experienced the lack of structural support to deal with the multiple aspects of the situation. They soon founded the non-profit Antoine Alléno to help other families.
