Espresso Monsieur?

Here's another portrait I've been saving for a special occasion.  Last June, I watched this interesting gentleman throughout my délicieux déjeuner with Marie and Genie at Hier & Aujourd' hui in the 17eme .  Finally, as dessert was served, I just couldn't resist.   I pulled out my camera and took two quick shots.  I liked the backlighting that almost put him into a silhouette.

100 French Strangers - Dejuener Avec Amies

French Stranger #64 - Frank, owner and chef

Yesterday I welcomed my dear blog reader ( and Francophile, imagine!) Genie from Mobile, Alabama and her friend Marie from Houston to Paris. Genie took us to one of her favorite restaurants, and we were not disappointed. Hier & Aujourd'hui ( 145 rue de Saussure, 17 eme) is a small family owned restaurant and the food is wonderful ! Genie and I had monkfish with fresh green legumes and Marie had lapin. We three shared two entrees and a chocolat creme brulee that was magnifique! Good friends, good food, good wine, friendly hosts. Another Paris moment I won't soon forget!
