- Talbott says that the interior of Les Quilles is “every visitor’s dream of a Paris bistro,” and that the Ménilmontant spot is serving “honest food at honest prices.” In his case, that included a herring starter, grilled veal kidney and fruit salad for €16. The next day’s lunch brings braised veal brains and ris de veau (veal sweetbreads) at Christophe, a “genuine Paris bistro where the decor, chocolate & service are way up from 3 years ago.” Stay tuned for tomorrow’s episode, when John will eat the veal heart and fashion a vest from its tiny little lungs.

- Alexander Lobrano cites the roasted pig’s head among his favorite dishes at the newly opened Frenchie Bar à Vins. “Marchand picks the rich meat out of the beast’s cranium and serves it with fresh navy beans, herbs, a hummus like sauce, and a vinaigrette, and it’s sublime.” [Hungry for Paris]
