Break bread appear in France's food capital shop the markets will be over with one of France's most famous chefs and dine like a Frenchman in a back alley be strong as Pierre rolls into France's second city. This time NPR for nasal cooking in France. Pierre for days cooking in France is made possible by the brawn manye foundation proud to support public television. By Coulomb headquarters limited importing beverages in the spirit of quality. Will has long simmered in Paris's shadow in every way except for one detail. He always France's belly located on Europe's major north south trade route. No other French city boast such a wealth of home style cooking

served in what are known as bushel inexpensive hole in the wall restaurants with wooden chairs and tables lined up in long rows. Pierre had company on to catch up with an old friend John-Paul like home. Home is part politician part businessman and full time chef with an empire of five restaurants and counting the two bodies were crossing the river sown on their way to a morning of market hopping. First stop was known as outdoor vegetable Mecca the marché Sometimes one. Of the foods on this market came from the region. I certainly have a lot of people. What users. Who have just one nice good will bury them of the one is good for the galley. Another one is good cause to Chini and we go with my boys from early on that you know my share for myself since 20 years we go in this market nearly every day. But. When I was. Little children my

father bring me here it's a very long time and it's very often even though you know you don't want to pick up the phone you want to see it before you buy. Yeah sure but it's important to you to know the people who make the produce so it's important to you to know that the face and behind you when you check the hand you know there is a good man you want to feel it in you on a small chair. I think it's a client I think is right for the market. And. And you. And your family. Yeah I want to show you the quote. So think of the law. It's. Very likely that any future dollars in the market you can find this kind of rodeos. First. Of all. While vegetables are bought outside Paul finds meat cheese and other

necessities at Leo's main indoor market lay out amid the jumble of stalls arranged in no particular order. Pierre stopped often to meet John Paul's favorite vendors. It seemed as if almost everyone there had known John Paul's and he was a little boy. Nowadays they supply his restaurant the best of all for Pierre was a stop at the shop which really the French version of a delicatessen. Oh good shark who totally leaves no part of a pig untouched producing such strange sounding specialties as the unreal. Pair forgot about modern pretention. Here he was pleased to find the food of his childhood the base weight. Why have you brought me I know. You may be 20 years. But you have. To do that right. And since no Frenchman can eat soci song without bread. John Paul brought Pierre to meet his Baker and entrepreneurial artisan whose baguettes are so good that he supplies

all the great deal shifts you see there. But. I love it. But it's just a shell of whatever the thought that she knew. I was sure. Before heading back to the kitchen. A final pilgrimage to what is perhaps the ultimate cathedral of chocolate and pastry Bell national. 75 year old Maurice Bell National is an old friend of peers who for more than four decades has transformed a rod chocolate into the lightest and most delectable desserts imaginable. The two ships next headed to Laos. John Paul's flagship and the Leone landmark resembling a sort of luxury bistro. And the restaurant's kitchen. John Paul proposed the leak terrene with goat cheese while peer defended America's food allergy and let her go and she said she will grow some in my garden. So

yeah. All right you two have a got a new you. Then we have the leaks we have. We saw their stock. So you got to have enough chicken broth here to have leaks and you're going to get here. Yeah. But. So you put it down for about 10 to 15 minutes to cook right. Sure they are cooked. You have to put your knife inside like they have a ludicrous. Yeah I noticed that you noticed. Yeah. Then when they're cooked. Yeah you got press nice and you comfy there when you know it's a masterpiece you've got to do for us. Not a masterpiece. Very simple I'd say. You have to.

The chance to cook in such a Leone landmark inspired Pierre. After seeing John Paul's masterpiece appear illustrated his own trademark the quick and simple style of the 60 minute gourmet.

Point out the book last the queen of French chickens followed by an amazing baked potato stuffed with pig's feet and served with a slather for alcohol for dessert. The berries bought earlier in the day at the market reappeared magically transformed as the chefs finished off a full day. They made plans for what was to come. Next morning Pierre left the Hotel Plaza I will be curly. Just across the street from the Old City Hall. He joined John-Paul and friends at the beast off us for an unusual breakfast. A mushroom. The traditional mid-morning meal eaten by Silk workers some hundred years ago. Featuring what the French refer to as cows intestines pigs snouts and lambs feet. The mushroom was meant to keep the workers who had been on the job since 5am

going strong. Pierre himself was going strong. He loved everybody. After a breakfast like that not even Pierre could eat before evening. On this his final night in New York. Paul took him to the infamous saloon they'll say. Once the city's red light district. Nowadays it's a closed off pedestrian stretch and a hot spot for dinner and drinking. Kiran John Paul made the rounds including a stop at the beast called video. Which before its present incarnation of the prophet. Pierre was on a roll. The nightlife. The food in the drink left him feeling good and wishing that he would never have to leave early on. But early next morning here drove south. Just below Leo.
