Welcome @foodshutterbug !! Hope you find this forum useful and enjoy your stay here.
I would like to know definitely! I’ve been starting to make my starter about a month ago, I’ve still trying to improve. There is a thread on this topic.
LOL! I live in the surburb of Paris, and I haven’t made it to Tour d’Argent yet. Problem here there are many new and fabulous restaurants and the established places have to wait. Since a few years Tour d’Argent has been changing head chefs quite often, the most recent one is Yannick Franques since 2019. By the way, Ducasse is French not Beige. In Paris, his restaurant in Plaza Athénée cooks mainly vegetables and fish as well, no birds. One needs to try Meurice, but I don’t see duck on the menu.
Right now, with COVID, there is no date when restaurants will be opened in France. If everything goes well, restaurants will open in mid January. It’s a disastrous year for restorations with the 2 lock down and a curfew and missing all the festivals. I wonder how many will survive.
