Been Busy!

Hey Guys-

I've been so busy the last month between Christmas and New Year's.... and then add on Pittsburgh Restaurant Week, Beer & Whiskey Dinners, Lent, and Valentine's Day.  If that isn't enough, I am traveling to Paris on February 1 for vacation.   I have never been to Paris for vacation, although I did study there learning to  make different breads a while back.   We are staying at the Renaissance Hotel near the Arc De Triumph.  I have been doing some research, and I want to go to Frenchie, Le Chateaubriand, and a few other great restaurants.  Any suggestions on where I should eat or shop?  Also any other Parisian secrets?

Looking to February, I have the Lenten Fish Fry's underway.  We are going to be open for lunch on Fridays only during lent, so make sure you stop by.

I hope everyone enjoyed Pittsburgh Restaurant Week, and is looking forward to the upcoming months!  Don't forget to vote for us on PittsburghMagazine.com on the ballot for Best New Restaurant!

    I'm going to Paris in the spring and would love to hear your thoughts on Le Chateaubriand. Have a great time in the City of Lights!

    Rick, You should get some of the best 'meat and potatoes' while in Paris. My favorite is in Montparnasse, Le Plomb du Cantal, 3 rue de la GAIETE. Take the #6 subway from CHARLES DE-GAULLE ETOILE station to EDGAR QUINET station, Le Plomb is half a block from the station. This bistro is known for their Auvergne cusine and best aligot! Yum!

    Sorry about your Patriots! Ha!

    Enjoy, Dutch
