Are you ready for French food? REAL French food? Fear Factor French Food?

Then join us for the first ever Fear Factor: French Food Edition (our apologies to NBC Universal, Inc. for this blatant infringement on their intellectual property. We feel really, really bad about it).

Where will we go? Why to Le Louis Vins of course...where traditional French food is always to be found.

If your idea of traditional French food is a hot goat cheese salad, we've got a cure for you! We will come armed with a game show-style spinner-wheel marked with the various traditional offerings of the Le Louis Vins. The options will range from "I've kind of always wanted to try that" to "I didn't know that was fit for human consumption." You spin, the Fates choose, and you eat away! Think of it like Wheel of Fortune, but more in the vein of Wheel of Organ Meats.

To learn more about this resto and it's very traditional French foods you only need check out this article.

Each person will cover their own meal and the wine. Menus for the plates, including dessert, run about 27 euros, before wine.

Bring whatever amulet or trinket you think need to guarantee your luck. Having your menu choice in the hands of the Fates can be a bit disconcerting, but we guarantee it will make for a memorable adventure.

Looking forward to seeing you there,
Michelle

    I've never told anything this before but I really like organ meats.

Who attended?

    •  It wasn't what I quite expected...it was more! I had a really nice time. The mood was laid back and everyone seemed to be enjoying each others company. Some people were encountered with a new dish and others reunited with old ones. The plates looked oh so elegant looking despite their indimitating names. I would have never tried veal liver or pig hooves otherwise. Fear Factor: French Food Edition= Food Fun. :) 
    •  Very cool idea, my dinner was good with the exception of the foot...but at least I didn't have to eat some of the other selections I saw on the table!!
