Ten Lucky Hospital Students Are Going to Paris

Ten Lucky Hospital Patients Are Going to Paris

"Ten patients from the Children's Hospital Los Angeles are getting a once-in-a-lifetime treat. They're going to Paris! As part of the experience, they got a taste of exquisite French food cooked by the students of the California School of Culinary Arts."

I spent 3 1/2 hours with them in the restaurant talking to the children about Paris, the food, sightseeing and I sang an Edith Piaf song for them. They told me about themselves and their interest in traveling independently.  If you click on the link you will see how happy the children were. They were all really excited about going to Paris.

The reporter refers to me "as one of the waiters". Why, I am a chef (insert Inspector Clouseau accent)! KCOP (channel 13 in Los Angeles) was also there and one of my students claimed to have seen a clip on CNN.

Your food photos are amazing! I’ve been lurking on your blog for awhile and finally thought I’d say something…. your photography is excellent.

This is a really nice initiative, children from hospital getting to visit one of the best cities in the world, that has got to be therapeutic.
