That’s very possible that sandy did the marketing and was the one supervising the restaurant. It still doesn’t make sense though. If you are making money why would you close your business down? I will ask him about it if I bump into him at some point. It’s possible that the restaurant got very good reviews from the food critics but still did not get enough regulars to sustain the business. As i said, the French are traditionalists by nature and Filipino food would be quite a stretch for them.

Johnny i understand what you’re saying, most people like to eat what they grew up with, but when most of us travel, we try the cuisine of the country we are visiting, like when we visit Japan, Italy, Spain, Singapore, Vietnam, the USA, do we look for adobo? hindi naman di ba? we like to try their cooking too.

The Italians are far less gastronomically adventurous than the average world traveller. This is my point. And they can get arrogant about it. Da best daw sila e. Of course there are open minded italians too, but listen to the average italian conversation about food when they are amongst themselves and they think noone is listening..
