Le Fooding’s Veillées Foodstock festival and another stellar (and free!) wine tasting at Caves Augé.
Our coverage of the (largely uncovered) 2011 Salon du Chocolat, including the all-chocolate lingerie show.
In the grand tradition of “Who Fugged it More?” by one of our favorite guilty pleasure websites, we present you with this choice from the 2011 Salon du Chocolat fashion show: Who Wore it Butt-er?
We’re leaving in just a moment for the Salon du Chocolat and wanted to give you a taste of the chocolate fashion show that we’re hoping to see. Pay particular attention (or skip ahead to) the moment at 2:20 in this video from 2009 when a topless woman is blowing bubbles with her lover on a carriage made of chocolate.
Today is the big day! Join us from 4-7 p.m. along the Canal Saint-Martin, where rue Bichat meets quai de Jemmapes, to help us fete our first birthday. Bring your own edibles and drinkables, or order a pizza from nearby Pink Flamingo to be delivered — they’re offering a free beer with every pie, or 15% off for PbM picnickers. Le Verre Volé is nearby, too, for your wine needs.
