le salon gourmand is born

Flâneur

As defined in the book Elegant Wits and Grand Horizontals, it’s “the deliberately aimless pedestrian, unencumbered by any obligation or sense of urgency, who, being French and therefore frugal, wastes nothing, including his time which he spends with the leisurely discrimination of a gourmet, savoring the multiple flavors of his city.”

it's my new barometer for judging a restaurant.
it was spicy and had wakame!! very good.
although still on the lookout for a place that makes it better than i do...
the resto itself was pretty cute and the people were friendly.
the bread service was weak.
bread should be served warm!!! how are you supposed to spread the cold butter on cold bread!?!?!?
anyways, i had fun with andrea, i'd go back to this cute little place on Bernard.
