Sunday May 8, 2022, the son of Yannick Alléno, Antoine, was mowed down by a driver. On the day of his funeral, Friday May 13, 2022, the starred chef made a heartbreaking statement on Instagram.
A drama that has shaken the world of gastronomy… On the evening of Sunday May 8, 2022, Antoine Alléno died at the age of 24. At a red light on a scooter, the young man was violently hit by a driver, who had just stolen an Audi RS6. In mourning, his father, Yannick Alléno, made him a moving statement on Instagram. Captioning a black and white snap, the starred chef wrote: « My little angel !! Today you will enter eternity! We chose your mother and I this beautiful house which had the opportunity many times to see you pass by! It opens its doors to you this afternoon! You have never done anything like the others! You came into the world on July 4, an American national holiday and left on May 8, Liberation Day!«
Assuring her son would have a goodbye »fit for a prince« , Yannick Alléno confided: « My child, you have, at 24, already done so many things… Madagascar, Costa Rica, Bali, the US, Italy… To travel, Hong Kong, Singapore, Africa… To cook, Lasserre, Pré Catelan, Clarence, Jules Vernes, Ledoyen, 1947 or in 2017, you went looking with Gérard the 3 stars in the Michelin guide, then finally your project!! Father and Son Burgers! We were talking about it and you said ‘chii hot’! You did this so well my son so well!! I’m proud of you ! » Proud, Yannick Alléno added: « It’s crazy to look at your life and see your action! All those who have crossed this smile and this look remember!«
Yannick Alléno: « The whole world will come to greet you »
Just days after his son’s death, the star chef wrote: « This afternoon, the whole world will come to greet you, I know you’ll be a little embarrassed, but it’s the ransom of glory, of YOUR GLORY! Your brother Thomas, your big brother and I are going to build again and again, with you to guide us, with that high gaze you have from the heavens, even more beautiful things! We love you and mourn you with all our bodies Antoine Alléno! My angel our beloved child!“Words that touched the greatest number, including photographer Stéphane de Bourgies, who wrote:”My Yannick, your words are so moving. I am unable to feel the pain you are feeling, that of a son who left before his father, in full bloom, but you are words, they speak to me very strongly; this pride you have of him, of the path he has taken. When a father is proud of his son, it is because the son is proud of his father; you both succeeded in this alchemy, congratulations for that.«
