Comments on: La Rochelle, Shibuya by Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai http://www.notquitenigella.com/2007/02/01/lunch-at-iron-chef-french-sakais-restaurant-la-rochelle/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating.

I know French Onion Soup enjoys the same reputation as Spaghetti Bolognese, Sweet and Sour Pork and Lemon Chicken in that they were the first dishes that we were probably introduced to of the cuisine in question. And because of that, and because it seems so passe, people groan and say “Oh no, not that again”. I know I did when I, in an admittedly brattish moment, groaned when I was served French Onion Soup at Iron Chef Sakai’s La Rochelle restaurant. [...] [...] Don’t groan, please.
