March 21 Is The One Night You Should Plan To Dine Out This Week

The fourth annual and global celebration of French food called Goût de France or Good France is happening this Wednesday night, March 21, 2018. Started in 2015 to celebrate French food and organized by the embassies of France around the world, 18 chefs and their restaurants were selected from around the Philippines, including one from Bukidnon and another in Cebu City, to join in the dinner event this year. The chefs and their restaurants are among the 3,000 others participating in this event worldwide. 

This is going to be a night of sharing delicious French food that is to be the ultimate "Epicurean dinner", a concept of Auguste Escoffier, the father of modern French cuisine, that means "to serve the same menu, on the same day, in several cities, for as many guests as possible."
