I wrote an essay a while back about what to do when readers note that places are not up to snuff or not the way I wrote them up, so here goes - hearsay but people I trust.
The Terroir Parisien has come to my attention as being disappointing to two persons, one a long-time Paris resident and friend, the other a loyal contributor to Chowhound. And the Repaire de Cartouche's food was found by my friend, who's been a dozen times and always loved it, to also be very off.
Again this is hearsay but in the spirit of "the best surprise in no suprise" - there it is.
Mary and I loved Terroir Parisien -- the high point of our ten bistro dinners in Paris in September. http://www.whitings-writings.com/bistro_reviews/terroir_parisien.htm
