I am a retired baby boomer with a Master of Science in Information and Cyber Security. I spent decades working in the high-tech industry. I am from the East Coast of the USA. Now, I travel the world with my wife for adventure, good food, and wine.
My wife and I arrived in France in August 2024. We enrolled in Gastronomicom, an international culinary and pastry school officially recognized by the Ministry of Labor and Continuing Education as a Center for Continuing Education. We studied there for six months and earned the “Certificat de Cours de Cuisine et de Pâtisserie Gastronomique.”
As an aside, I love photography and have organized all my images—over 48,000 and growing — into individual slide shows. Yes, I took all the pictures on the blog.
We will be in France for another year and a half, attending further wine and culinary schools and traveling around the country during breaks. I share my experiences here to help improve others’ lives or, at the very least, assist them in finding or making a better meal.
Let’s go!
PS: I do not write negative reviews. I recognize how hard it is to be a chef running a well-established food establishment day after day for years on end. Everybody can have a bad day. I document what I experience during one or so visits—just a brief moment in time. “On any given Sunday,” your experience may differ entirely from mine. If I took the time to visit the restaurant and write about it, then by default, I recommend giving it a try.
