Bistros, Baguettes, & Boudin Noir: Phil's Parisian Adventure

Fresh off a trip to Paris, Phil shares his culinary highlights from the city that defines food culture. From classic bistros serving steak tartare and escargots to discovering boudin noir wontons at Le Servan, we dive deep into what makes Paris such a special place to eat. We also talk about the cutthroat restaurant scene, why even the smallest spots serve top-tier food, and the unbeatable accessibility of perfect baguettes, croissants, and cheeses. Plus, we tackle Parisian hospitality (surprisingly friendly!), the myth of Paris Syndrome, and why food should never be elitist.
