Stam sur Paris

12/05/2024: I think I have just had the best burger I have ever eaten: "L'Auvergnat". I have a little French, so the very charming server asked if I wanted the burger "au point" and I said yes, of course. Such is not permitted in Canada and, there, burgers are at best medium. Of course I want a burger cooked for maximum taste pleasure. Well it came a little more cooked than what is called "au point" elsewhere, but only barely, and it turns out that's just what I like. The farm cheese on the burger was exquisite. I think the tomato sauce was house made: sweet and fresh. But the bun! Holy smokes, it was perfect. Not as sweet as a brioche, but with that perfect delicate crust. Maybe this is what brioche is supposed to be. I also ordered beer. Demory Paris, which I had never had. But I have a skilled French friend who taught me about French beer (the wine is justly famous but it's unfair that it eclipses such excellent beer). So I knew enough to choose from the beer menu! Yeah. This place is a reason to come to Paris all by itself.
