And Traveling the World
It’s autumn. It has been for a few weeks. And even though my inner Californian will deny the change in season for at least another month, there are unmistakable signs all around London. Take Hyde Park, for example. I was walking there last weekend, and I saw it everywhere.
Today I’m coming to you from a hotel on Piccadilly in London. You may be wondering why I’m staying at a hotel in my own city. The answer is simple: London’s annual Frieze Art Fair. Still confused?
Raymond Blanc is taking over Britain. Starting with Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons—his famous two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Oxfordshire—he expanded his culinary empire by opening a chain of restaurants around the country. The capital has a lot of them, including the Brasserie Blanc on London’s South Bank.
