Perrier landed in Philadephia in 1967 to become head chef of Peter von Starck’s La Panetière. Three years later, he opened his own restaurant in downtown Philadelphia. Perrier named the restaurant Le Bec-Fin, a French idiom for “the good taste.” The small restaurant quickly became a Philadelphia institution.
