Here in Chicago we love our food. We have some of the best dining in the world. This is also true of Paris. This is silly, but the one item I had whenever it was available with my meal was Goat Cheese Salad. Since then, I%26#39;ve learned to make it and serve when we entertain. Guests love it. Can%26#39;t wait to have the real thing next Saturday. That and the wine. Over here there is a huge debate California vs. French. I don%26#39;t get it. French wine has body, volume, texture. California wine has sulphates you can taste.

French wine has suphates as well.
In general, CA wines go for big flavors that please. They want you to taste the oak in your Chardonnay and will even add wood chips to the barrel to get the point across.
French wines can be more difficult to appreciate. They tend to be more complex and more subtle.
The int%26#39;l market prefers the cheaper and simpler wines from the %26quot;New World%26quot; which is causing an crisis in the french wine market.
As for a favorite food, too hard to choose, but I certainly have a deep appreciation for all of the exceptional cheeses that we can get over here.
