Dinner was at Le Gourmandin tonight in Beaune. I sampled some local fare (much better than the Beef Bourgogne) tonight. Tried some escargot still in the shell and had to dig them out with the little escargot fork. Super yummy. Our french counterpart told me to let the goo drip on the bread and eat it all together. It was perfect, especially with the Chablis we were drinking. My first course was Poached Eggs in Red Wine Sauce, a true Burgundian classic. This was absolutely delicious and amazing. Next up was a Duck Breast in a Fig Red Wine Sauce, which went fabulous with the Red Burgundies we were drinking.
