French Cuisine To Die For

Washington Post: When in Paris… President Obama has a ‘working dinner’ at three-star eatery

As working dinners go, President Obama’s meal Monday night in Paris with French President Francois Hollande, Secretary of State John Kerry and others wasn’t too shabby.

No cartons of takeout — instead, the gang fueled up after a long day of climate talks at L’Ambroisie, the three-Michelin-starred temple of gastronomie in the Marais neighborhood.

Per the Michelin Guide, the ornately be-chandelier-ed dining room is known for “incomparable classicism and an immortal feast for the senses.”

WNU editor: This is one of the reasons why I live in Montreal .... French food .... if done properly .... is excellent. As to this dinner .... if it was someone like President George Bush instead of President Obama showing up at such a place .... the media attention and commentary will be entirely different. But come to think of it .... if someone like Donald Trump would show up .... it would be expected. Hmmm .... perception .... it is always about perception.
