Good for the little café. Bet the mistake will bring in more customers.

Sounds like it earned its Star. Just the sort of place I would enjoy eating at!

Yes, perhaps if people are surprised by a good, affordable meal, they’ll come back.

Of the two restaurants described, I would much prefer the small town one!

Of the two restaurants described, I would much prefer the small town one! Same here, but I'll do the spendy one at least once if I find a reason to. I like trying new stuff, so that isn't that hard to do.

Don’t think I have ever enjoyed a meal where I had to make a reservation first. I do believe I had paid too much for too little. I do my best to avoid such places.

I liked the workman’s café menu more. I’ll keep my lobster and my flan separate, please. I do think I’d like the fancy place’s crepes with Grand Marnier.

My Irish-blooded mother made the best beef Bourguignon. I have never been able to match it.

Doing it right is a little beyond my resources atm, but there is a very well thought-of French place a 5 minute drive from here, and there is an AWESOME Belgian spot that is easily visible about 70 feet from my front door. It didn’t see it on the online menu for either place, unfortunately.

Crepes are a no brainer. Our 9 year old entered crepes in a 4-H food competition and did well.

Speaking of brains I’d rather have the home-made lasagna at the small cafe then the calf’s brains at the real Michelin starred restaurant.

I do think Id like the fancy places crepes with Grand Marnier. Someone should come up with a catchy name for a dish like that!

Crepes Suzette has a nice ring to it.
To: bgill
Let me get this straight. In the two days, when people sought out the little restaurant thinking it had garnished a Michelin One Star, people commented that they loved the place and in fact said it deserved two!
REminds me of that delightful movie, The 100 Hundred Foot Wall.

Yeah, maybe there could be some story about how it was first prepared for a beautiful girl in the presence of a king, or something like that. Name it after the girl, that's always a good idea.

Did you let your nine year old add the Grand Marnier?

That would definitely work! Chantal? Marie? Wait, how about Suzette? Sounds cute.
With that settled, I have this recipe for a grilled ground beef patty and a variety of vegetables and condiments sandwiched between two pieces of a baked bread product. The full description takes up a lot of space on the menu. Any suggestions for a good, short name?
