WHAT IS THE TRAVEL WRITING LIFE REALLY LIKE? IS IT AS GREAT AS PEOPLE THINK? I HOPE TO COME TO SOME CONCLUSIONS AS I SHARE MY TRIPS AND TRAVAILS.

Dinner at Paul Bocuse, Lyon

by Kent St. John on April 24, 2007

It wasn’t easy leaving the confines of the amazing Hotel des Loges for dinner last night but when it is at a place where the owner is a “Three Star Michelin” holder for over forty years, there is no choice. For years the name Paul Bocuse has been revered, his family has been in the cooking game since the 17th century. Lyon has always been a gastronomic Mecca and Bocuse is the King.

Dinner:

Lobster Cassoulette,

Fricassee of Chicken from Brest Region in a light Cream Sauce with Morels

Some of the finest cheeses from the region and choice sweets to finish

It was sheer pleasure watching my fellow dinners get their dishes served. Sea Bass, Veal and Filet Rossini rounded out the choices. Needless to say the wines were perfect. I bow to Bocuse.

Hey something’s fishy about this photo. that ain’t Bocuse that’s a cutout! Still you beat me, I had three Michelin stars and I thought I was way cool. But Bocuse, hey he’s the big boy. The Biggest.
