Like all great chefs, André Poirot melded his talent, training, and discipline with that rare extra ingredient, the ability to prepare dishes that bring people together with shared delight. He was a perfect fit for our restaurant at the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock and we were so fortunate to have him in our kitchen and our lives as long as we did. He’ll be missed not only by all of us at the Center, but by everyone in Little Rock and around the world who were lucky to have gathered around a table to sample his gifts. arkansasonline.com/news/2026…
