Following a summer of eating through great restaurants of the south of France, he joined Rick Moonen as Chef Tournant for a year at the Water Club, then headed uptown to La Cote Basque. Chassagne then returned to France spending two years in Paris at such Michelin starred gastronomic temples as Jamin, Jacques Cagna and Le Square Trousseau. In Spring of 2000, after a year of teaching at Manhattan's French Culinary Institute, he launched the Midtown brassiere Montparnasse, teaming up with Karim el Sherif (Scarabée).
