Over twenty years ago French Husband and I lived in Paris. We were newlyweds with no money. Every happy anniversary, or birthday, and the day we found out we were going to have a baby, we celebrated by going to Chez Paul's for dinner. It was a mom and pop's restaurant, around the corner from were we lived. The cheapest thing on the menu was vegetable soup, and house wine.
Last night we went to Chez Paul's for dinner. It was crowded, as usual, the waiter asked if we had reservations, we hadn't. As we were about to walk out the door I turned around and said, "I am so glad to see you are still here, we use to come here often twenty years ago, it seems as nothing has changed, I like that… we live in Marseille now… " with a few more words, nods, and smiles… sweet begging… the waiter said, "Oh come on in, I want to make you happy!"
We were very happy. We had soup, house wine, fish, and three desserts.
