what is the best food in franch

In NYC, a city where chefs have been departing four-star kitchens to start barbecue joints and noodle bars for years, haute cuisine is already less than sacrosanct, the perfect climate for no-nonsense French cuisine. Le Fooding, a Paris based in organization championing messy eating and casual cooking will host a picnic-style dine-in at P.S. 1 in Long Island City, Queens this weekend (Sept. 25 &26). Come join the thousands expected to line up for plates of food from chefs like Yves Camdeborde and Alberto Herraiz from France as well as April Bloomfield and David Chang from NYC






France is the country that reveres fine cuisine and its masters: Brillat-Savarin, Escoffier, the Larousse Gastronomique. But according to Le Fooding’s founder Alexandre Cammas, this whole scene is great for the few privileged elite but is suffocated by an overabundance of white napkins and starchy chefs cooking in antique styles (and at prohibitive prices) for the lucky few.
Founded in 2000, Le Fooding eschews the star system like Michelin or Zagat and instead focuses on making French food sexy again by promoting more daring and creative French dishes. Especially since the French take haute cuisine so seriously, Le Fooding was regarded as revolutionary when they began holding huge picnics in French cities, with bistro chefs serving food that people ate with their hands and wine imbibed out of plastic cups.
