He returned to Paris to train under renowned chefs at Le Dodin Bouffant,
Le Beauvilliers and Hotel Le Crillon. In 1983, Bertrand began his international quest
to further his classical training first landing in Montreux, Switzerland, then later, Koln, Germany and finally the United States, where he worked at the famous
Le Pavillion Restaurant, favored by President and First Lady Reagan.
In 1986, Bertrand was head chef at La Miche restaurant in Bethesda, but the dream
to have his own business soon took him to the island paradise of St. Martin.

At the age of 24, Bertrand and his American wife Jennifer, left the United States
to open Fabulous Feasts Gourmet Chef Service and Catering on the French side
of St. Martin. It wasn’t long before this dynamic couple was entertaining for world renowned celebrities and movie stars in this exclusive villa community.
Fabulous Feasts St. Martin is now in its 16th year of operation, providing
a variety of services to villa clients including private chef service, butler service, weddings and corporate events, in flight catering to private jets to name a few.

In 2004, Bertrand returned to the United States to open Fabulous Feasts New Canaan, designed to replicate its sister operation in St. Martin by providing upscale, service oriented catering of gourmet international cuisine specializing in chef and butler serviced dinner parties and cocktail parties.
