On Sunday, June 22nd, Chefs leave their usual haunts and set their tent on the esplanade of the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris.
They will offer their culinary delights to a salivating crowd for Le Grand Fooding 2008, not La Grande Bouffe.
I would be happy to try the lamb with peppers and onions and an asian twist by Davide Barilone of Il Vino, Langoustines from Le Guilvinec in my native Brittany plus a Donburi création par Hisayuki Takeuchi of Kaseiki which calls itself the best sushi place in Paris.
On the sweet side: 10.000 Punk Ice Cream Cones (Ice Cream with Beet and Sesame props) by Marc Bretillot, culinary designer.
Drink wise, William Ledeuil of Ze Kitchen Galerie will serve "Mon Ricard mangue de rien", the Anis based liquor gets a makeover with mango, green apple, curcuma, ginger and lemon.
More down to earth wine producers from Anjou will be on hand to serve their Cabernet.
Also present, Gelinaz! called the most Rock’n Roll European Chefs Collective, not sure what they will come up with…
All that for only 5 Euros…a steal, if you can still get a ticket.
Wish I was there!
The Paris event is one of the 6 Sunday stops on this year’s map which marks the 6th Edition of Le Grand Fooding.
Still to come are Nice on June 29 and Lyon on July 6th.
Thanks to Charlotte for providing me with all these details in no time.
