He is dedicated to using only French products, with a special focus on sourcing his ingredients from local suppliers, ensuring that every bite captures the essence of the region.
In a touching statement, Maxime Méjecaze revealed, “After several years of honing my skills in various local dining establishments, I decided to take the plunge and start my own venture. It’s also a way for me to carry on the family culinary tradition. So, I created a food truck in my village that truly reflects who I am. My fascination with ancient Egypt and passion for cooking since childhood led to the creation of ‘Toutankamion.’ It felt like the natural way to combine both elements and share them with my customers.”
The food truck operates every lunchtime, except on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as three evenings per week (Thursday, Friday, and Sunday). Maxime Méjecaze also plans to adjust the opening hours and days to coincide with local events and the summer season.
