Tuesday, in Le Fooding, Grégoire Maurel reviewed La Table Rouge, in Cancadoudal.
Friday, Francois Simon had a nice puff piece in Le Figaro on Yves Camdeborde, that for those who have followed the lives of the “Culinary Children of Christian Constant” [my title], is not new news, but is a good recapitulation of the evolution of reasonably priced Paris bistros over the last few decades.
Saturday, Francois Simon in Figaro, did a full-page spread on the return of the Tour d’Argent, stating that under the new chef, it is in good shape. Alongside is a “Croque-notes” piece on Allard, where after a 55 minute wait, he had a meal that prompted his companion to ask [my trans.] “How come eating with you is (always) so bad?”
This week in Bonjour Paris, Margaret Kemp wrote about the Tour d’Argent and John Talbott wrote an essay entitled “The Perfect French ________ (fill in the blank.”)

I was surely born in France of a chef father and food critic mother.
Love your blog.Since I am an ex-New York,Fire Island,Colorado guy who visits Paris annually I
particularly enjoy your comments on my former territories. I follow your dining counsel (and Lobrano's) and never go wrong. Tell me,my guru,
where I can get the best choucroute in Paris?

I'm the wrong person to ask, I haven't had choucroute out in 20 years and then my favoirite was Chez Jenny, but no I or my downstair's pal by the ingredients at Bon Marche and do it at home.
