A little Chicago in Paris

Last night, the four of us went to see a translated and adapted Camus play performed by Chicago's Trap Door Theatre called "Regarding the Just." It was...interesting. I just asked Tom to describe it: "It's as if the revolutionary cell was an interactive rock band." That works for me. Here's some info on it.

Before the play, we had some cocktails and snacks at Le Mary Celeste. A fresh, crisp kale salad with fruits and nuts, boudin noir with foie gras, tongue & grilled cheese sandwich, and tataki - sort of a Japanese version of carpaccio, but better with chili oil, nuts & veggies. The food pictures did not come out well, so here's the cocktail menu. Everything we sampled was great.

After the play, we went to a neat wine bar (I'm working on getting the name) where we shared a very refreshing bottle of Pouilly Fumé. It was a great evening!

And before I forget, we had a lovely late lunch at a neighborhood find called Clairière. 20 Euro for 2 courses: grilled vegetable plate & chèvre salad followed by daurade & steak tartare, washed down with a nice, little 13 Euro Corbières.

By the way, it appears Blogger and iPad work better together with shorter posts and fewer pictures, so apologies for the choppiness.
