Chef François Fotre, R.I.P.

Chef François Fotre passed away on Tuesday June 30th from heart complications. He is survived by his wife Catherine, 15-year old son Antoine, and 14-year old daughter, Julia. Catherine and François, classically trained chefs, founded La Mirabelle in 1997. In March, 2007, François was involved a serious motorcycle accident and spent months recovering in Parkland Hospital. At the time, Fotre was the chef at the Catalina Room on Lemmon.

Here is the official information from the family:

Please keep Catherine, Antoine and Julia in your prayers.
