 After 20 years of purposefully walking around the historic Alsatian Brasserie Lipp on the Blvd St Germain, I finally stepped inside to eat.
When a distinguished “regular” kindly invited me to join her at Chez Lipp for the choucroute that has been her lunch tradition for the last 18 years, it was impossible to decline.
Aside from being famous for its historic literary clientele and a postcard perfect Brasserie décor, Lipp is most known for giving well-heeled regulars prime real estate on the main floor while everyone “else” is seated upstairs in Siberia.
We were given front row side-by-side seats against the wall and drank elegant kirs watching club members greeted by their personal waiters and nibbled black olives as disappointed tourists were abruptly turned away at the door.

Growing up in the Deep-South formed my philosophy of generosity, abundance, and the pleasures of the table. This upbringing helped form the idea behind The Paris Kitchen, to share my favorite insider addresses with readers to eat and drink like a local, not a tourist.
