La Table d'Ogre is rated 3 out of 5 in the category online media. Read and write reviews about La Table d'Ogre. This blog aims to avoid you the worst scourge, which are plenty: the BANAL restaurant! Between technical progress, hygiene obligations and the professionalization of training, there are today, all in all, very few bad restaurants but there are many that only heat industrial dishes under vacuum (sometimes quality quite good, let's admit it) but are largely overcharged because without real work (except the scissors!). Which dishes? My CAP (NVQ equivalency) allows me to target the most technical dishes without necessarily choosing those I prefer. This is to provide you with the most advanced analysis of cooking work. I also want to avoid diluted articles (by lack of inspiration?) with the copy-pasted list of the dishes. Restaurants, hotels, good addresses according to my peregrinations and "invitations". Invitations? That's it, the swear word is released! Let's be honest, ALL the food columnists are a day (and even always for some!) invited. I photograph my checks and I indicate by a (i) after the name of the restaurant if I have been invited. I am not the bard of virtue, but a little ethics is not useless. And I think a confident subscriber is worth 100 mistrustful readers. But why not refusing invitations? Bet you that movie chroniclers pay their seats, literary critics buy their books, political journalists pay for their train or plane tickets when they follow who you know (yes in France, it is like that). And I'm not talking about the gifts received for the "LifeStyle" pages. If Esau has sold his birthright for a lentil dish, I think I can maintain my integrity, even for a sweetbread. You have understood the true substance of my thought. And I'm not here to debate about journalism.
