CFD: What is a foodie?

There have been some bachelor nights when I've ordered Eastern Standard's version (egg, lardons, hazelnuts, and ohmyyes sweetbreads) specifically so that I could boast to my wife, "Oh, I just had a salad..."

I know what you mean.
I was trying to describe it to a friend, and it scared him a little.
Do you add the poached egg, too?

I didn't know what this was until recently. My wife and I ordered it, wanting something light for lunch after several days of over eating. Oh well, avoiding calories really isn't something to do while travelling anyway.

Jean and I use the salade Lyonnaise as an example of what to expect when dining in Lyon. To me, Lyon's got the same vibe going as Bologna does in Italy: you don't travel there to lose weight. When she read the description in a bouchon, Jean laughed out loud ("Only in Lyon does your salad contain more meat than vegetable").

Oliver Sacks, Radio Lab
One of my little obsessions is an NPR program called Radio Lab, in which Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich discuss various topics which are at least marginally scientific. I like the program enough that I tend to burn episodes to CD and give them to my friends. The first show of the new season was called "Choice". Oh, you can get it for free at the iTunes store or go here: radiolab.org
