    Philippe lives and cooks in Houston, Texas where he created the acclaimed Philippe Restaurant + Lounge (which was recognized by Texas Monthly as one of Texas’ “Best New Restaurants”) and Bistro moderne at Hotel Derek (where he was hailed as one of the city’s most innovative and talented chefs following his arrival in 2004). He worked with the Lombardi Group as Executive Chef on the launching of Toulouse at The River Oaks District, and nowadays shares his experience and know-how as a consultant with some of the finest restaurants in the USA.
