JY's

About this audio guide

This guide to JY'S in Colmar follows chef Jean-Yves Schillinger, beginning with the December night in nineteen ninety-five when fire tore through his father's celebrated Alsatian restaurant. It follows him to the New York kitchens where he trained and built a career of his own rather than rushing home, and back to Colmar years later. You will hear about the mentors along the way, from Gerard Boyer to Joel Robuchon, and the question he carried the whole time about what to do with a name that had already burned once.
