Why, hello there. You are listening to the Earful Tower podcast. My name is Oliver G. This is a show about

Paris. It's a show about the things that make Paris Paris. So we do food, we do fashion, we do

the beautiful streets, we do the monuments. And today we're going to be focusing on food via

my guest, Alec Lebrano, who is an influential food critic.

I'm sure you've heard of him.

He's been on the show before, actually.

And he's written a book.

But the subject that we're going to be sort of most tackling is the food revolution that's going on in Paris right now.

It's very exciting.

It's very interesting.

And who better to tell us about it than Alec?

By way of introduction, though, he's written a book called My Place at the Table,

A Recipe for a Delicious Life in Paris.

It's really interesting.

It's like a memoir.

It talks about his sort of shy childhood and how he got into the food world from a very young age,

and then it takes us to France and Paris and his job here.

I highly recommend it. Check it out.

He's going to be doing an event at the Red Wheelbarrow September 30th from 7 till 8pm,

where he'll be reading from the book, signing books.

You can go and meet him. And as for the book itself, don't take my word for it. Food writer Bill

Buford said it is a flat out wonderful read. So that is what you're in for if you get his book,
