In 2015, Belgian artists Filip Sterckx and Antoon Verbeeck began delighting intrepid diners with Le Petit Chef billed as “the world’s smallest chef”. The engaging visual and culinary odyssey sees diners being entertained by a revolutionary 3D show involving a 58mm little chef projected onto guests’ plates in animated format.
The little ‘un gets into all sorts of hilarious scrapes in his attempts to make delicious culinary concoctions, and each segment of the animation segues effortlessly into real-life meals presented to diners (cooked by real-life chefs), often bearing startling resemblances to the animations.
