Excluded in Paris: When You Can't Stomach Being Fancy

Culinary-Snobs-A-Plenty in cities like Paris, San Francisco, or New York. In Paris, at every corner café terrace I am reminded that I can't fit in (nor want to) with the cool kids who LOOK SO GOOD sipping on scotch on the rocks or downing whole fresh oysters in one swift move. I reflect on how some of us may not be so high-up in the pecking order of fancy eaters - it's an ego-crusher. In every episode, I share stories about "la vie en rose." Part memoir, part travel stories, part homage to the deliciousness that satiates human appetites, Kitchenette Paris travels to the dreamscape of the heart, where we celebrate splendor and delight.
