'j'ai bien sûr nommé...'
Q: Why do we use passé composé here?
Asked 1 year ago
Bonjour Liyunzi,
That's a very interesting question! In this specific case, Le Passé Composé is the correct tense. The narrator is making an announcement having previously "mentioned" the dish (not with the exact same expression though: "la star des plats"). This is often used by TV / radio hosts. It has a "idiomatic" dimension to it too.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

No, it wouldn't work here. The narrator has given the name to the dish sometime in the past.
