Update and Redux: J – Before Luke showed us how to make this pizza, I had never had fresh pizza for breakfast. Only, the stone cold kind after a very late night back in the day. I was not a fan … then. I could not believe how good this … Continue reading
J – Actually, not really … It just seemed like that when I got to this restaurant. Right across from the European Securities and Markets Authority and the New Zealand Ambassdor’s place. Lots of very serious, fit guys in jump suits with electronics in their ears … all over the … Continue reading
Update and Redux: J — I’m just in from Paris and rubbing my eyes in disbelief … there are no zooming motos and Parisian street sounds outside. Oh well. Just have to plan next year. Of the many things I noticed, the Parisian food scene is changing rapidly. You can … Continue reading
