I had lunch at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon on my birthday

Bar seats gave me a perfect view of the kitchen

And the red bar stools made me feel like my whole family was there. Lol! :P

Joel presented me with the loveliest bouquet in the world. He understood that I didn't care for
flowers as much as I cared for carbs. I ate all kinds, 8 in total. And every piece was fantastic.
I would have eaten all if there was an extra 5 minutes before the amuse bouche was served.

Thank you to everyone who remembered me on my birthday, and I am sorry
I wasn't able to reply all because, obviously, I was very busy stuffing my face.
Just look at those CHEEKS!!! LOL!!! :D
