Le Petit Chef at Le Méridien Columbus, The Joseph is not a normal dinner. Far from it, actually. It’s not just a normal movie date, either. It’s something way more memorable, weirdness and all.
It’s safe to say you have never seen anything quite like this.
A Tiny Chef Cooking Right On Your Plate
At Le Petit Chef, a tiny little chef, no more than 2 inches tall, cooks your food right in front of you. Directly on your plate. He moves around the table, onto your plate, grabbing your fork, grilling wagyu steak, putting on a full show right in front of your eyes. Like a miniature Gordon Ramsey but with MUCH less cursing.
It almost looks holographic as your table comes to life as a fully immersive 3D story, as if you could reach out and pick him up.
Le Petit Chef is the star, and he creates the entire experience right in front of you as your meal unfolds. It’s dinner and a show in a way that will stop you in your tracks.
Consider this your unfair advantage in Columbus.
