I traveled from one great food city, to another, Lyon, a bright star in the constellation of global cuisine. I had great meals, but was seeking to understand more. Some postcard pics here, from @le_sully_lyon , @flairallurelyon , @roliko.restaurant , @lamerebrazier , @leshallesdelyon and @sirha_lyon (that @valrhona chef Paul statue...). And and some takeaways for New Orleans: Cuisine isn’t simply something prepared and consumed, but a calling that is pursued, an industry that is valued and a culture that is shared and practiced with vigor and gusto. Being a great food city is about more than having many restaurants, or restaurants that draw acclaim and awards. Experiencing a city like Lyon feels like taking part in a narrative. New Orleans has that too. We can do better at harnessing it.
