I didn 't really know exactly where to post this!

I finally got around to reading the Spring Town and Country Travel issue. There is an article called Adventures in Dining and one of the cities it covers is PARIS!

David Tanis, who was the chef at Chez Panisse , one of the top US restaurants decided to change his life. He made a deal with Alice Waters the owner and now works 6 months a year in CA and spends the rest of the year in Paris in his Latin Quarter apt. that he shares with his partner, Randal Breski, who was the maitre d' at CP.

As the article says a chef's got to cook so they started a dining club, Aux Chiens Lunatiques.

From November thru April they will hold dinners for 12,in their apt. The first 12 who sign up on their website dine on a super fresh, market driven menu with superb wines. At the end a jar is passed for your contributions!

Sounds like great fun if you hit the right time!

When I was looking for the website, I saw an article that mentions you can also read about it on David Lebovitz's website.

Sounds like an improvement on the Jim Haynes dinners. I wonder how difficult it is being one of those first twelve...

Anyway, I'm going to bookmark this and try to be one of the 12 when I hopefully go to Paris next April.

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
