Gastro bistros.
What are they? They're cozy, casual, chef-owned restaurants, set in untouristy, unritzy parts of Paris, where rents are still affordable. These new-breed chefs, often trained at one of Paris's gastronomic temples, don't care about guidebook stars or celebrity glitter. They don't work with flashy, rare and pricey ingredients. They don't decorate the room with flowers, set the table with gorgeous linen or pour wine in hand-blown glassware. They don't even offer a printed menu. Instead, after a morning romp through the market, they write up a daily chalkboard list to show off the best of what's seasonal and fresh.
According to Paris-based Wendy-Lyn Whitehurst, a plugged-in gastronome who organizes French culinary adventures, today's gastro bistro is "a foodie paradise where you don't have to take out a loan to taste some of the best food in the country." Of course, the dollar's steep decline (one euro equals about $1.57) makes "value" difficult to gauge. But even with the horrible exchange rate, you can get an absolutely superb three-course meal, with wine, for $75 or less per person, including tax and tip.
The Meat Spot.
Just meat at affordable prices. A big bowl of culinary knowledge inspired me to have a bistro/Gastro Pub to sell high quality meats with different explosions of flavors. San Diego is in dire need of a really good Locally owned steak pub. With the best of both world, MEAT and BEER.
