Time is of the essence as Chef Luke visited Franche-Comté, a region once known as France’s clock-making capital. During his jaunt in this region, he created a Vietnamese dish made of prized Bresse chicken served with a warm fondue dish of cheese on the side. 

Chef Luke did not forget to make a trip to Lyon, the gastronomy capital not only of France, but of the rest of the world. A trip to this city would not be complete without getting a taste of classic salad Lyonnaise and a traditional chicken liver cake, topped off with a dessert inspired by fruits of spring.

The celebrity chef created his own fusion of an African-French fish soup, which uses only fresh ingredients off the boat, imbued in the flavors of the Mediterranean—which aims to urge viewers to travel to Marseille.
