Trying to get outside on a beautiful night, support the local service workers, and still practice some social distancing. I think we pulled it off tonight. Bonus: got @cedarpointphl’s awesome seitan wings.

Had a work lunch at the new @malthouserockledge with my first Wit or Witowski - a “cheesesteak” made with kielbasa and American cheese sauce. I made it a “Good Day” by adding egg and fried mozzarella. Now this is a cheesesteak I can get behind.

We had to go to Iselin, NJ over the weekend for Hindi wedding clothes, so why not enjoy the top notch Indian food they have? Stopped at Swagath Gourmet for my first experience with thali and @ktgoeshiking got her favorite palak paneer. Ended with some thick and creamy coffee.

Oh wow doesn’t Luxembourg seem like a nice place to visit? IT’S NOT. Check out the blog today (link in my bio) to find out why Luxembourg is the Cheesecake Factory of cities.

Finally made it out to Sacré-Cœur today. I always like checking out the ornate churches, and now this one has taken the #1 spot in Paris for obvious reasons. Great little neighborhood around it as well.

11 years ago this very weekend, I went to Paris for the first time and ate coq au vin at A La Biche Au Bois, and ever since it has been my death row meal. Today, I nervously went back, and I’m glad to report the food still lived up to the 10+ years of hype. We started with escargot, poached eggs with mushroom sauce, and ravioli salad. We then all ordered the coq au vin before moving on to the unlimited cheese board. For dessert, we had an apple tart, l’opera cake (chocolate and coffee with cream), and a chocolate mousse that I, as a chocolate hater, could not stop eating. It was like eating a chocolate flavored cloud. I hope it’s not 11 years before my next visit.
