Girl slicing Proscuitto at FouchonThe girl who would be queen!
Croissants ,brioche,baguettes and coffee for breakfast. No complaints here. My girlfirend is sick. We wait abit to meet her old friends who come over to sat hi one who happens to be a doctor. After a spectacular Almond pithivier with a king hidden in it (who ever gets the slice with the little king in it is the king for the day and he may also crown his queen!)(Oma gets the king and crowns mygirl friend queen...great) we head off to the Arch d Triumph and the Champ d Elysee
After walking in the freezing cold for an hour we hop a metro ride to Fouchon and Hediard. We buy some head cheese at Fouchon for good measure and stop in for champagne at the other . It's served with warm gougeirs and foie gras terrine on toast! Not bad at all!
After a warming spell its back on the metro to meet friends for dinner at ......... Its packed and its good. Portions huge, escargot, salad Landier, tete du veau, scallops provancal , beef liver and other typical !? French food. I was stuffed after my appetizer. Not dissapointing but not what Im looking for.
This is Sunny Kim here, who used to work with you as a cook in TDR but is now back in Los Angeles. I am so happy that you are sharing this travel blog with your friends =). The details of your experiencs in Paris brings back great memories. I was "King" for the day when I baked and plated slices of Galettes des Rois for old friends in Figeac, a small town in Southern France when I was still an aerospace engineer. You are a great chef and I wish you more happy travels! Take care and stay warm!
