Raymond Blanc--Need bio

[bourdain]

I would greatly appreciate a quick bio/ resume (what do you call that over there--a Q something?) of Raymond Blanc and a brief capsule history of Le Manoir. For purposes of personal enterprise. I know the man and the place by reputation, of course, but a brief geneology tracing back career would be enormously helpful. Thanks in advance.

In addition to anything David will tell you, I can scan an article from the Great Chefs of Europe book and e mail it over. It's 10 years old but may be of some use. Let me know.

This may also be of some use, a recent Caterer article http://www.caterer.com/archive/articledeta...articleID=42291
