I did have lamb and steak tartare, and they were delicious.

I also found it incredibly funny that there were lots of Five Guys and KFC.

tartare means raw meat

I know. It was still delicious.

However, I will revert to my vegan ways upon our arrival in America.

thank you.

Man, I can’t wait to have it!

I’m excited for you, wease.

at what arrondissement are you staying?

Haha! That’s funny!

Alls I know is it’s close to the Eiffel Tower and we’re gonna be walking everywhere.

Ah, okay. I think my brother-in-law stayed close to there as well.

Don’t be afraid to use the metro. It’s super easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. Google maps is your friend. Walking is great, but Paris is very spread out.

Not that I could’ve used it a ton since we had a kid with us, but I was bummed to see Paris discontinued their rental scooter program. Those are a fun way to see towns.

I was a little too nervous to use a scooter or a bike on the streets of Paris. We rode bikes at Versailles, but only to get around the gardens. I could see myself using a bike or scooter next time tho.

My Aussie wife would cut you.

Popeye’s has superior sides and tendies, but KFC still wins the bone in fried chicken battle.

Understandable. I’ve ridden both around downtown Chicago, so nothing scares me anymore.

It sucks to get to and from, but the airport itself seems fine. Very clean and stylish, at least the int’l United wing.

Disagree. Popeye’s chicken, especially the spicy, is more flavorful and their biscuits are the best out there. KFC’s potatoes and gravy still can’t be beat. I’ll give you the rest of the sides, tho.

Mrs Wease was telling me that when I go with our parents to Normandy, they have a Burger King and McDonalds right there so we should be able to eat with no problem. I’m like, “i’m not going halfway around the world to eat at a fucking fast food place I can walk to in 5 minutes from home!”

We totally crushed McD’s in Versailles after the palace tour. It was right by the train station.

my wife and I have always had a tradition of eating at a fast food spot on our last day while traveling whether in the city or at the airport..its just always been a thing..everything has been tasty except for the McDonald in the Sydney airport..the QP tasted like a raccoon..

How good does a greasy cheeseburger taste after a week in Mexico?

This was what we at the first night in Paris. Lamb (medium rare) encrusted with hazelnut, a mushroom tart, and a salad topped with an egg that was slow boiled for 16 hours. All of it was excellent.

[dad]

The place is called Bistrot Instinct, and I can’t recommend it enough.
