Heh.

I shared this with a colleague at work this afternoon.  Too bad the drink was watered down.

Heh.

Thought that one little guy was going to starve until dessert came!

The Bold Italic did a similar concept bringing a 4 year old to the French Laundry

The boy who loved the madeleines - that would have been me. I see a career as a pastry chef in his future.

I was impressed with their table manners.  I can just picture parents drilling them like crazy before the big night.  Me, I would be the one scratching her butt and picking her nose in between poking the kid next to me with my fork.  And I wouldn't be above making some loud gagging noises if I thought it would get a laugh.

Too cutesy. It would have been just as entertaining, but more instructive, if they'd done it with seventh graders.

 

Echos of the Wire?

I hope you would have sampled some of the other dishes. :-)

As Kerry Beal commented on, he basically didn't eat anything until dessert came and then the madeleines essentially constituted what he ate at Daniel! :-D

Dunno.  7th graders are on the cusp of striving to be "too cool for words" (of course there will be exceptions) especially when they are quite aware of being videotaped and being "on air" and their reactions may not be exactly spontaneous.  :-)
