The reason for natural, organic, local agriculture

Below is a French/German documentary (Arte/La Cinq) exposing the chemical giant Monsanto, its scandalous practices and its taking over the world agriculture by making farmers big and small dependent on its genetically modified organisms and fertilizers... An eye opening film indeed... Please invest some time, watch the ENTIRE documentary and share with your families, your friends and your acquaintances....

After watching this, you will have no more doubts as to why we keep a couple vegetable and herb gardens right here in the neighborhood, and why we buy our products for most of the year with the very people who sell at the farmer's market, long before the market opens for the season and long after it is gone. Thank you for watching!

Best Baguette in Paris

Numbered Baguettes awaiting blind tasting by the judges
The French definitely LOVE their baguette... undoubtedly more so than their own flag!!!
Bread and baguette is such a serious business in France, that votes for the best take place annually, during which the best are announced and subsequently earn the right to placard the very coveted title on their front door and their "vitrine" (store front window). There are best boulanger (baker), best ouvrier de France (best craftsman in France) etc.... Best baguette in Paris is a consecration for a boulanger, especially since there are boulangeries in every street corner

Choucroute from Alsace at The Paris!!!! 




















Choucroute is the famous French sauerkraut and sausage fest, the ultimate "baby-it's-cold-outside" dish from the Alsace region of France, served by all the famous and venerable brasserie institutions of Paris like Bofinger, Brasserie Lipp, Le Balzar, Au Pied de Cochon, La Coupole, and for years now, in the midst of the winter, The Paris Bistro in Sugarhouse....



Choucroute is an Alsatian recipe for preparing sauerkraut with sausages, salted and smoked pork as well as potatoes. Here at The Paris, Mr. Siegfried makes our sausages and delivers them to us including Knackwurst, Fleischwurst, Wienerwurst, Weißwurst, Bratwurst ,Salt Pork, Kassler (smoked pork chop). We use fresh Kraut from an organic farm in Washington, not pasteurized so it is crispier and a really great foil for the sausage. We cook the kraut together with the pork slowly for hours with white Alsatian wine (Pinot Blanc, Gewurztraminer or Pinot Gris), juniper berries, pink peppercorns, coriander and onions, carrots and potatoes.



The Paris also features many Alsatian white wines that are a match made in heaven with Choucroute. Choucroute will be served as a special at The Paris for the next few weeks only, while it is the season. Please call 801-486-5585 for reservations or click here

The Paris, un parfum de Belle Époque

Thursday 13 January 2011


From Eric's collection comes this gem: A colorized photograph of the Café de la Paix at the very beginning of the 20th century... The Café de la Paix opened June 30, 1862, to serve the Grand-Hôtel de la Paix (named after the nearby rue de la Paix), whose name was later shortened to Grand-Hôtel. It serviced visitors of the Universal Expo exhibition in 1867. Its proximity to the Palais Garnier (the current Paris Opéra House) attracted many famous clients, including Jules Massenet (a French composer), Émile Zola, and Guy de Maupassant (both famous French writers). Please note the server's attire, then look at our own servers!!!
