Not sure how "real" it is, but you can get French cuisine at any number of restaurants on the side streets off Bourbon in NOLA. Served by real live French. And it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. (I wouldn't call it dirt-cheap either, but it's certainly not outrageous.)

Plus, the French eat Mickey-D's, too. Quite a bit, actually, as I understand it.

Re: Saturday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

There are plenty of reasonably priced French places in NYC. Not fast food cheap, but not crazy either. The type of places that cost a fortune are like that in France as well. In fact, high end food is currently cheaper here courtesy of the dollar decline.

Re: Saturday Open Thread (none / 1)

My point is this: if the Italians, the Chinese, and the Mexicans can do it, why can't the French?

Do I have to go to NOLA or NYC to eat French? And who will pay for the plane tickets?
