Lafont, Jean E. Chef Jean E. Lafont passed away in his Dallas home on January 21, 2012. Mr. Lafont was a world renowned Chef who made his home in Dallas. He is recognized for bringing fine cuisine to Dallas for over 35 years. His legacy will forever live on. He is survived by seven children...
Read MoreChef Lafont hired me straight out the CIA in Poughkeepsie NY in 1982. As a young graduate I was thrilled to work for him and Francois Soyez in Dallas. I was promoted and transferred to Destin Fl. at Les Saisons where Mark Cheffins was at the helm. When I became chef, chef La Font made trips to Destin to change seasonal menus with me. I still remember his Chicken Lyon de Lyon and Brie soup. RIP
