A few good meals

My favorite things about Paris are the fashion, food and sights, that is no secret. 
On Monday, we stopped for lunch along the Champs Elysee after visiting a brochante with Delsa. The restaurant was fairly new and was right on the busy street so we decided it looked good enough to try and boy was it!  I ordered a chicken club. 




They substituted the bacon for egg and am I glad that they did. Its funny, it didn't taste much different than the ones we are used to at home other than the fact that it melted in my mouth and had the perfect amount of crisp on the toast. The crowd was perfect for people watching as well.  Also, the potatoes were served in a little crock pot in the middle that the server took the top off of it when it was presented. Love the details here. They tasted great but I could only eat two after that huge sandwich. The french aren't scared of carbs like we are in California. I think they think that carbs make you skinny because they are served in abundance with every meal and everyone here is thin.  The table spaces at restaraunts are smack next to each other, I have practically served my ass as a course on a table next to me on accident trying to get up to leave.  It might as well have the American flag plastered on the back of it.  

All right, on to the next meal, and hence probably why the size of my keister is in question, I love good food!
Today, we were out walking all day and went to see the Eifle Tower which was gorgeous with the sun shining right on it. 
We came back and were starving from walking and g
etting lost and ended up in a cab because my feet were killing. I remembered seeing a girl chowing on a burger and fries at a cute restaurant down the street with heaters outside and purple chairs, it basically had my name on it!  
So we headed that direction, sat down to order 2 burgers, which we were a little sketched out on because we were warned about eating red 
meat in France, but when you need a burger, there's no stopping.   We decided to go for it, despite the hefty price tag of 17 euros each.



Ty and I both agreed, they were one of the best burgers we have ever had.  Are you hungry yet???
