  • Authentic French Dining in Columbus: Chef Jacques Sorci & Chouette
    Sep 18 2025
    What does it take to create a truly authentic French bistro in the heart of Columbus?

    In this episode of Chefs in the City, Ann Fisher, Steve Stover, and Rich Terapak sit down with Chef Jacques Sorci, Director of Culinary for MakeReady at Chouette, a French bistro celebrating its first year downtown.

    Chef Sorci shares how Chouette became the only U.S. restaurant certified by the French Association of Master Restaurateurs, what authenticity really means (down to the fries and bouillabaisse), and why every detail—from mosaic floors to mustard-yellow accents—was chosen to capture the spirit of France. The group also dives into menu favorites, seasonal changes, and what makes dining at Chouette approachable yet elegant. If you’ve ever wondered how French tradition translates to the Midwest—or just where to find the best tarte Tatin in town—this episode will make you say chouette!
