Chef Tris

From the bustling streets of Paris to the quiet moments at home, my journey is one of passion, resilience, and a deep love for French cuisine. As Chef Tris, my transformation from a culinary expert and tech recruiter to a local food tour guide in Paris has been a delicious turn of events, blending my professional skills with my personal story of renewal. My adventure in Paris reignited in 2018 when I decided to plant roots here with my Parisian wife and our daughter, embracing the city's charm and challenges. The year 2022 marked a pivotal moment for me—a period of introspection and healing following a breakdown. This challenging phase steered my life towards a more fulfilling direction, away from the relentless pace of the tech world and into the embracing arms of culinary exploration. Under the alias "Broke Brit in Paris," I embarked on a mission to share not just the hidden gems of Parisian dining but the essence of living and thriving in this mesmerizing city. My blog and social channels have become a canvas where I paint the stories of Paris through the eyes of an expat, offering tips for visitors, insights for fellow expats, and a taste of what it means to truly eat like the French. This journey is more than a career shift; it's a heartfelt return to my first love—helping others discover the joy of great food and uncover the authentic corners of Paris. With every blog post, tour, and social media update, I strive to blend my extensive culinary background with the innovative spirit of a creator, eager to guide you through the culinary delights of Paris. Join me as we explore the city of lights and flavors, from its renowned bistros and hidden cafés to the bustling markets and quiet, cobbled streets. Through my stories and guided tours, you'll experience Paris not as a tourist, but as a local, diving deep into its gastronomic traditions and modern innovations. Together, we'll uncover the secrets of French cuisine, celebrate the art of living well, and perhaps, find a piece of ourselves in the heart of Paris. This narrative is a continuous journey of discovery, learning, and sharing—a culinary canvas that's ever-expanding. With a spoonful of creativity, a dash of adventure, and a generous helping of passion, let's savor the essence of Parisian living and the art of French cuisine. Welcome to my world, where every meal is an adventure, and every bite tells a story. Let's discover the real Paris, one taste at a time.
