Editorial Review

Wear a beret. Americans' stereotypes about France get thrown right back in their face and into their eager mouths. In a city of French snobs, earns top ranking for moules frites, crème brûlée, mysterious cow parts. Anthony Bourdain can't make this stuff. Half the conversations are en français but you really can't hear a thing. Celebratory din akin to Paris '68, echoes inside gutted bicycle repair shop. Career waiters have dignity, wine makes you weep.
