Global Eclair Program by Le M�ridien Hotels & Resorts

In anticipation of National Chocolate �clair Day (June 22), Le M�ridien Hotels & Resorts announced the launch of its first-ever global �clair program in partnership with award-winning pastry chef and new LM100 member Johnny Iuzzini. Brown-betty-Eclair-800x532 As part of the brand�s new culinary program, Le M�ridien hotels and resorts worldwide will offer guests the opportunity to indulge in a variety of modern twists on the chic Parisian treat, including both classic flavors as well as unique creations inspired by the destination. In addition, Chef Iuzzini will create eight seasonal �clair recipes for the hotels, inspired by his travels through various Le M�ridien destinations. As part of the program, each hotel will offer modern takes on three signature �clair flavors � coffee, chocolate and vanilla � as well as one locally inspired flavor. To commemorate the launch of Le M�ridien �clairs, Le M�ridien hotels around the world will host exciting on-property events, programs and special offerings highlighting the delectable French treat, from do-it-yourself (DIY) tutorials with on-property pastry chefs to regular �clair hours for guests to sample seasonal creations. Guests of Le M�ridien properties throughout the months of June and July will also be encouraged to upload and share their experiences on social media using #LMeclairs. Le M�ridien hotels around the world will continue to feature a variety of destination-inspired �clairs, offering guests an authentic taste of the local culture, from the Maple Bacon �clair and Texas Honey Pecan �clair at Le M�ridien Dallas by the Galleria to the Dulce de Leche �clair, infused with coconut, from Le M�ridien Panama. In Germany, Le M�ridien Munich will offer a savory �clair with goat cheese, cranberry and pumpernickel crumbs, while Le M�ridien Bangkok will feature a citrus-inspired treat with mango, lime and ginger. Through this unique culinary collaboration, Chef Iuzzini will create eight signature �clair recipes exclusively for Le M�ridien over the next 12 months, inspired by a global tour of select Le M�ridien destinations. �clair Diaries will kick off in San Francisco on Thursday, July 10 where Chef Iuzzini will travel around the city and discover the region by motorcycle to uncover local flavors and find inspiration for his fall 2014 �clair recipe. Chef Iuzzini�s recipe will then be unveiled at a special event in New York City on Tuesday, July 29. Johnny�s �clair Diaries will continue throughout 2014 and 2015 with additional stops being announced soon.
