Dirt: Adventures in Lyon as a Chef in Training, Father, and Sleuth Looking for the Secret of French Cooking
Bill Bufordmarc tracyMy favorite moment in Bill Buford's DIRT is when he makes tavern-style cheeseburgers for family meal at a Lyon restaurant. The French chefs love and are charmed by them. But Buford also serves them Coke to go with lunch, and they're disgusted and appalled. https://t.co/JyGlBp77wv
