Happy Plates

• John Talbott enjoys the 27E lunch at Le Dauphin, complaining only that everyone in the place was distracted when Mathieu Amalric showed up and disturbed the quantum of solace. [John Talbott's Paris]

• The volaille sauce suprème at Le Pantruche makes François-Régis Gaudry want to call his maman. [Et Toque!]

• François Simon shares his honest thoughts on L’Hedoniste: “Franchement, j’ai bien aimé.” Great, then. [Simon Says!]

Down the Hatch

• Wine writer Alice Feiring visits Coinstot Vino and drinks a bottle of Prieuré-Roch that forces her to “rethink the whole idea of Burgundy as it seemed like angels wings and clouds.” I want to go to there. [The Feiring Line]
