Ping-Pong Cooking at La Famille

[John Talbott]

Normally I would wait to post this on the Digest next Monday, but of course by then it will be yesterday's news, thus this post:

Monday, Le Fooding’s news was that the first Sunday of the month the resto in the 18th much beloved by the “Fooding” bunch, La Famille, 41 rue des Trois Frères, 01 42 52 11 12, hosts a different outside chef in a “ping-pong” event with the resident chef – Bruno Viala. In February it was Angelo Capasa of Marcel at the Drugstore Publicis doing 11 colors in 11 dishes; in March it will be Flora {Mikula} doing classics such as cassoulet, choucroute, etc.; and in April the Irish-born cookbook author (Cooking with Friends) - Trish Deseine – who lives in France. No reservations are taken; it's held between 8 and 11 PM.
