When I was a teenager, my parents used to take me there. My father
somehow managed to have the maitre'd take me back into the kitchens for
a tour one night. I recall they had two kitchens, the pastry one and the
other. It was a neat experience for a budding cook.
My mother used to love their liver. I tried the rabbit once but couldn't
continue eating it because the long rabbit leg reminded me of my cat.
Remember all the artwork?! Who could forget it! lol
