5. Ducasse drops meat for fish in Paris restaurant. Restaurant owner and chef Alain Ducasse made the decision to ban meat from his menu and replace it with fish, vegetables and organic cereals, according to Mike Urch’s commentary piece from September. The chef didn’t clarify as to whether he’ll be focusing on more sustainable species of fish but instead said he would focus on more “humbler” types, since they pose more of a culinary challenge. Ducasse will also be nixing cream from his menu, while butter and sugar will be used rarely. Urch writes it will be interesting to see if Ducasse’s “healthier” menu options will carry over to other restaurants throughout Paris. Urch added if other famous chefs choose to drop meat from their menu, the world would be a healthier place.
