“When I was nineteen, I went to France to study, but instead, I just ate. The experience changed me: I came back to the United States, and a few years later, started Chez Panisse. In Hungry for Paris, Lobrano describes his own gastronomic awakening, probably better than I could! This book is a wonderful guide to eating in Paris.”––Alice Waters “Lobrano is a sly raconteur, a respectful critic, and the very best kind of insider--one who genuinely longs to share all his best discoveries.” ––Julia Glass, author of The Whole World Over and Three Junes “Every time I go to Paris I call Alec and ask him where to eat. Nobody else has such an intimate knowledge of what is going on in the Paris food world right this minute, and there is nobody I trust more to tell me all the latest news. Happily, Alec has written it all down in this wonderful book and now I can stop bothering him.”—Ruth Reichl “A brilliant book with an almost fatal flaw: the writing is so enchanting you may never leave home to go to any of Alec’s favorite places.”—Dorie Greenspan, author of Baking From My Home to Yours Alexander Lobrano is Gourmet Magazine’s European correspondent and has written for almost every major food and travel magazine since moving to Paris in 1986. Here he shares his humorous memories of his first trip to Paris as a child from Connecticut and what it was like to move there full time as an adult. He offers a personal selection of the city’s 102 best restaurants, each of which is portrayed in lively descriptions that are not only indispensable for finding a superb meal but also a pleasure to read. HUNGRY FOR PARIS is a charming and informative companion for anyone serious about eating in Paris. Lobrano reveals the hottest young chefs, the coziest bistros, the best buys, the haute cuisine restaurants that are really worth the money, and the secret places Parisians love most, together with information on the most delicious dishes, ambience, clientele, and history of each restaurant. A series of delightful essays cover various aspects of dining in Paris, including “Table for One” (how to eat alone), “The Four Seasons” (the best of seasonal eating in Paris), and “Eating the Unspeakable” (learning to eat what you think you don’t like). All restaurants are keyed to helpful maps, and the book includes beautiful photographs by Life magazine photographer Bob Peterson. -over- ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Alexander Lobrano has been the European correspondent for Gourmet Magazine for the past eight years.
