French chefs Alain Ducasse (right) and Franck Cerutti pose in the kitchen of Ducasse's restaurant "Le Louis XV" in Monaco. Alain Ducasse was awarded a three-star rating for the "Le Louis XV" on Feb. 7 by the famous French food lover's bible Guide Rouge 2003 (Red Guide), formerly known as the Guide Michelin. Cerutti has spent much of the last 15 years at the Louis XV, taken over by his mentor and fellow super chef Alain Ducasse in 1987.
