e-gullet meal in Paris

[thefoodhunter]

I just had a wonderful dinner with Bux and Mrs. Bux in Paris. We discussed the site and I wondered why there hasn't been an egullet event in Paris. It would certainly raise the awareness of the French culinary world to this excellent site. Are there any other egulleteers living here besides me? I would suggest a meal at a reasonably priced, easy to organize with a month's advance notice establishment. How about first week in December. I would be happy to help organize the meal with input from others living here.

Marc -- What a promising idea! If it's the last few days in November, I might be able to participate.

[David Bizer]

Great coincidence. I actually met Bux and his wife the other day as well, discussing the same thing. There are certainly a few residents of Paris on this board, and and decent likelihood of a couple of visitors depending on the timing. Since we all have an appreciation for food in common, I'd love to get involved in organizing something. If we can kick something off, maybe it becomes a monthly event. I know a great "sleeper" bistro in the 7eme if that's of interest? They have some of the best moellux au chocolat! Let's get this rolling!

[thefoodhunter]

Hi David, What is this sleeper in the 7th? I guess you and I and Cabby will be the only ones eating there.

Cabrales I can't do dinner at the end of November, I'll be out of town food hunting.

[Steve Plotnicki]

Is it open to all members?

[David Bizer]

Marc- The restaurant is La Brunie on rue Surcouf. Know it?

Steve--I don't see why anyone couldn't join if they wanted to.

Bux told me someone called "Loufood" lives in the 7th. Anyone know this person?

Should we try to set this up for the first week of December??

[Steve Plotnicki]

David - It was a joke. Obviosuly you haven't been following the conversation about this topic on another thread.

[Beachfan]

Obviosuly you haven't been following the conversation about this topic on another thread.

Already showing that he has good taste.

[Bux]

Well we're game for Monday. We leave for the provinces on Tuesday morning.

I really enjoyed meeting David and Marc and his wife Nikki. (sp?) I am still trying to figure out if C'amelot was a terrific restaurant, or if it was the company. I suspect it was both.

[Louisa Chu]

Bux told me someone called "Loufood" lives in the 7th. Anyone know this person?

No wonder my virtual ears were burning. I hope only good things were said. Actually, that's not true - heated discussions OK too.

Yes, yes, please count me in for a dining adventure.

[thefoodhunter]

OK, Trying again, who wants to eat when and where in Paris. ARe weeknds better or weekdays? Come on Paris egulleteers lets do it!!!

[Louisa Chu]

A-llez a-llez a-llez a-llez!

Moi! Friday and Saturday nights best. Thanks Marc for a bit of atypical Parisian enthusiasm.

[KathyP]

I don't live in Paris, but I will be there for one month beginning February 27 to celebrate my retirement. I'm not a food expert, by any means. I do love a good meal and over the years have had my most memorable meals in France - usually while on business while someone else is picking up the tab. If you would have me, I'd love to join in if I'm in town.

[balex]

Yes, I'd like to come too. I'm fairly flexible, though away from Paris quite a lot.

[delights]

I hope the place of a restaurant will be found easily.

I'll very delighted to be between epicurean persons.

I'ts a great honor to celebratre this great website.

I've not any preference for the day.

[Stone]

Let's go to McDonalds.

[Louisa Chu]

Let's go to McDonalds.

No, Quick.

[David Bizer]

I'm up for this dinner. I suggest we set a date and make this happen.

How does Friday, February 28 work for everyone?

[Bux]

I can't make it, but I suggest it may be some time before I can and hope someone gets the ball rolling so it will be easier to do it again when I do get to Paris. Maybe the fall would be a good time for the second annual dinner. I'm very curious as to where you will dine.

[thefoodhunter]

sign me up for February 28. How about one of the table d'hotes places, "Os à Moelle' or "Chez Michel" downstairs?

[JenM]

Id definitely be on for joining a paris e-gullet outing..can't do February 28th sadly, but count me in for the next time. Im based in Paris so am pretty flexible as to dates

[David Bizer]

It seems to be quite difficult to get this off the ground. For the proposed date of Feb. 28, only Marc and I have confirmed. Is it the date, or are there really just a handful of us actually residing in Paris?

Taking a look at the previous responses, the following people seem to be interested:

Marc

Balex

Loufood (prefers Friday or Saturday nights)

Kathy P (if we get it together before March 27)

Delights

JenM (can't make Feb. 28)

A group of six or seven would be fun. Can we come up with a date that works for most of us?

[JenM]

How about Thursday 6th March? (Not quite the weekend, I realise, but nearly...)

Otherwise, if everyone else wants to go for the 28th February, I could join you a next time.

I just found this thread by accident, not being a regular browser of the France Forum. I strongly recommend you post a connecting link to the UK Forum. I, and I'm sure a number of others who live in the Southeast, would be delighted to come to an eGullet meal in Paris. It's only a Eurostar ride or a short drive in the car away

[delights]

As this discussion began in last october,maybe now

It's time now to have an exact date

On saturday 22 march this would be nice according

to business imperatives of everyone.

The limit answer of participation would be given on

15 th march,and also the place of the restaurant.

For the persons who couldn't come there would be

easily in the next months some others meals.

8 to 10 persons would be welcomed for the first meal.
