Eloi Spinnler Meets Anika Mercier

To kick off this second season, we’re opening with an unexpected encounter:
On one side, Eloi Spinnler, chef and cofounder of the Parisian restaurants Orgueil, Colère and Envie, as well as culinary content creator.
Opposite him, Anika Mercier, Character Concept Artist at Ubisoft Bordeaux (Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Claws of Awaji).

Together, they exchange experiences and bring the light on their craft:

• how creativity resonates across gastronomy and video games,
• the secrets behind character design and the making of an iconic hero,
• how the culinary world is transforming toward more human and responsible leadership,
• and how symbolism, color, storytelling, and emotion can shape both a dish and a character.

And here’s a fun fact: did you know Eloi Spinnler’s signature harness was inspired by Assassin’s Creed?

What follows is an authentic, surprising, and inspiring conversation where two creative mindsets meet.
