Editorial Review
French riff on the classic American lunch counter. Gets things wrong in an endearing way, a la Jerry Lewis. Example: bacon-cheeseburger sausage hot dog, combo-sized with warm lentils and frisee. Fancy La Goulue chef out of job after all his customers kicked the bucket; has wisely shed AARP-and-aspic set for their sprightlier grandchildren. Youthful open-faced sandwiches, French toast "crème brulee" (on fire!). One of Williamsburg’s prettier gardens: bamboo and ivy and nary a dessert cart in sight.
