Thank you for the armchair travel, it is sorely needed. The covers of those cookbooks are delightful, I'm dreaming of a future trip to Paris and rummaging through the many used bookshops.

I had Thanksgiving Day lunch 4 years ago at Guy Savoy solo and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The Artichoke soup with truffles and parmesan was incredible, the wines by the glass superb and the service excellent. And Guy Savoy is as personable and accessible as any great chef I've met. Wonderful restaurant.
