@MartiniandCigarettes yeah they can suck but you got to live there to understand their attitude, not that it's an excuse. I should know as I'm French and from Versaille. I recommend to people they check out better and cheaper places in France like Lille and the region of Brittany. If you go by the German/Swiss border; it's amazing and a lot cheaper too.
@MartiniandCigarettes thanks for the empathy! Actually was not that bad but sometimes your expectations betray you somehow. Also a good analogy, about the mistress, and I know literature and many people can support that, but at brief moments I felt like being into an S and M relationship being me the submissive one. Still worth the trip and most likely I will be coming back (again) to Paris sometime in the far future.
Food is like music. We can love the commercial hits, the indie bands, the innovaters that say Fuck You to convention and make their own way. But there is something about classics like Beethoven. It shouldn't be about sticking it to the man or going against convention. It should just be about doing what you do best, what you love, and being happy with it.

Bourdain talking to Joël "God" Robuchon. That's so cool.

@vfr090 Paris is like a very pretty and capricious mistress. You need time, passion and patience until shes gives herself to you.
I know, Parisians suck. sorry if your experience was not good.

This is great focusing on the food and dropping the snobby aspect that sometimes associated with eating a great meal
