I agree with mofiya on the Paris 2-3 stars. When I was there in May, L'ami Jean, Frenchie, and Spring all were excellent. We also considered Le Cinq and Les Papilles.
Also, think about what food you want to eat and do some research on the web. Chowhound or John Talbott's Paris are good places to start.Last edited by Fenix; 01-11-2012, 08:13 PM.Originally posted by hausofblaqGrow up.

thanks Fenix and MoFiya for the recommendations. Will take note of those.
Ive been doing some search on the web, but as we all know, there are tons of good restaurants in Paris, and i don't even know where to begin. Hahaha. I just want really authentic French stuff, not some touristy crap.

nictan, o man wish i was in Paris.
if you have time, may want to check out some bistros, Chez l’Ami Jean or Chez Michel. don't forget falafel on rue de rosiers, and for macarons, Pierre Herme (great sorbets too), and for chocolate, Jean Charles Rochoux or Patrick Roger are quite nice. an interesting and popular place now is Yamt’cha, which is French-Chinese, but not sure if you want too many asian meals while in Paris (but if you're looking for something clean and quality, that won't break the bank, Restaurant Shu is pretty good).
for the nicer places, L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon like you said is well-known, and quite good, but i'd spring for something different, Ledoyen or L'Astrance most likely. Also, Agape Substance is very nice, and a little more affordable than the other Michelin-starred restaurants. If you're really going to splurge, Gagniere would be the place to go in my opinion (but not Goya). though to be honest, you can get a great meal or two at some bistros like L'Ami Jean and maybe a prix-fixe lunch at a Ledoyen for the same price of going on one crazy dinner.

Any recommendations for Los Angeles? I'm going to try to go to Osteria Mozza, Animal, and The Bazaar, but anything else I'm missing?

sign out front is the best. I have no idea what it's called.
About two years ago I ate at this fucking killer Korean place near Chinatown. I don't know the name, but I could probably find it on Google maps.

recipe websites
for those of us who are on-the-go and try to keep a minimal house, does anyone have a recommendation for websites with recipes?
something pescatarian would be great, or even better something with flavourful sauces i can adapt to other dishes would be fantastic.
(i've tried epicurious - hit-n-miss, realsimple - decent meal but plain flavours, and so-on)

mmm crumble
flavor combos sound to my taste
Been making lots of eastern european goodies lately, a weird departure from my typical japanese fare. Thinking of vegetarian (I'm not but typically eat as such) recipes can be tough though since so many signature dishes and flavors rely so much on the meat, but I'm getting a good handle of the flavors which is all I can ask
also have been baking a lot more
tons of baguettes, russian black bread, challah and rugelach
