#theparispopup

Unlike former trips to Paris- I had known better this time to research places that I wanted to dine or visit while in Paris for my sister’s birthday. I stumbled upon many sites telling you the etiquette of making reservations while in Paris. Months out and good luck is the overall tone of what I had learned. If you are not aware of French cuisine, nor the terms- good luck! I stumbled upon a tourist friendly site driven by foodie, Wendy Lynn creator of The Paris Kitchen. Perusing the English audience food site – I found her event page, discussing that The Paris Pop up series would be returning to Paris for one week. I knew I had to try and get a reservation for this immediately. A gastronomic program brought to you by Harry Cummins and Laura Vidal. The idea was born in December 2012 and inspired by one of Harry's travels to London where he attended a pop-up dinner. Thereafter, together in Paris, Harry and Laura decided to launch a pop-up series inspired by the much talked-about "bistronomy movement". With the assistance of fellow Parisian chefs, restaurant owners, and friends of travel, Harry & Laura were able to occupy empty spaces on their closing days and "play restaurant”. Much to their surprise- the Paris Pop Up received a successful response. Harry and Laura did not want to be tied down to one restaurant location due to their love to travel. Thus since January 2013, they have been traveling around the world bringing The Paris Pop  Up to various cities such as  Montreal, New York, California and Kyoto. Cummins and Vidal have taken seasonal items, trusted recipes, precise wine pairing, and gastronomic skills from several travels around the world to conform the menu for each city Pop Up.
