Lyonnaise Chicken with Vinegar Sauce
For several centuries Lyon has been known as the French capital of gastronomy, due in part to the presence of many of France’s finest chefs in the city and its surroundings (e.g. Paul Bocuse).

Eat the Chicken, not the bigotry…. I don’t usually blog about controversial topics, but I have to do it. I am astounded by the stupidity. I’ve only been to Chik-fil-A a handful of times. The chicken is good, but it’s the sauce that is delicious. I went to one recently in Baltimore, MD with my […]
