With Bibou getting a glowing three-bell review in the Inquirer and Fond opening this evening we felt the time was right to bust out our Legion of Perrier infographic.

By our count there are 15 area chefs out on their own who passed through Georges Perrier’s kitchens.

Of course if we missed any, let us know.

Update: Now version 1.1 of the graphic complete with all your additions and subtractions.

Today the Bite looks at the offspring of Le Bec-Fin’s Georges Perrier and the new restaurants they are opening.

World renowned French chef, Guy Savoy will be hooking up with Georges Perrier behind the burners at Le Bec-Fin on for two days in September. The special seven course tasting dinner will include some of Savoy’s favorites including lobster, truffles and foie gras.

The menu is going to be available on Sunday, September 20th and Monday, September 21st for $200 per guest. Seating is limited to 80 guests per evening. It’s as counter-programming as possible to Restaurant Week, which will also be going on those days.

We’re in full agreement with Grub Street, Georges Perrier needs to be on Top Chef Masters or some or perhaps even his own show.

Now will he really add a cheesesteak to his menu and if he did, would you order it? Vote in the poll on the right-side of the page.

Georges Perrier will be closing Le Bec-Fin to update the decor sometime in November. We’d link to the story but the Philly.com link is wrong. Maybe this is an example of that Inquirer first philosophy. Update, found a working link! [Philadelphia Inquirer]

The Daily News has lunch at Brasserie Perrier at Boyds and finds the experience will chase away your bad mood and it’s a bargain too.

What I most enjoy about BP Café is that it is the Filene’s basement of food. Even the common folk can afford a cup of coffee ($2.50) and a slice of Le Bec-Fin pastries ($4) here. With a quick stop at the Wine and Spirits store down the block, you can enjoy a hearty lunch and make it an occasion. Then bask in the knowledge you’ve had the food out of the kitchens of Le-Bec and Brasserie for a fraction of the cost.
