Many people know chef Damien Duquesne from his famous 750 g website. He now devotes his time to his Parisian restaurant and the environment. Conscious of the urgency of climate change, his goal is to raise restaurant owners’ awareness as much as possible. After the Covid crisis, he worked on the development of a new-generation drink to replace industrial sodas, limit the use of plastic and reduce the transportation of beverages. So he launched Necense, organic soda powders made in France. He is socially committed and is patron of the association Les Petites Cantines. The chef also supports Secours Catholique with his solidarity creation “le Fraternel”, a cake symbolizing a movement of solidarity during the festive season.
