Tip for eating in France from a Frenchman: when you see that logo on the right at 11:50, it means that the establishment is a member of the AFMR, which is a society of restaurants that hold each other to very high standards (one of them being that everything on the menu has to be homemade). So if you're wandering through the streets in some city in France, don't quite know where to eat, and you see this golden plate with the blue-white-red capital R: absolutely get in there without hesitation and you're almost guaranteed to have a good time. It's never failed me! You can also look up their member restaurants on their website.
7:29 If we're just talking a hard boiled egg straight up I'd have to agree, but as fundamental ingredient of deviled eggs... well, a hard-boiled egg becomes something completely different.
I spent my college years eating at a bouchon. except it wasn't called bouchon,then more like a troquet (a dive is the closest translation I can think of.) It was run by an aging couple who took great care of their "kids". Papa went to "les Halles" twice a week and bought whatever was a great deal, it could be oysters, steak, crayfish, lamb chops flounder. . . it would be on our table the next day. The menu was simple, it went like this: "if you're hungry enough you'll eat it, and NO there's is no choice" The price was right, about $3.50 for 3 courses plus a glass of vino. The atmosphere was amazing, the line wrapped around the block on WEs and I ate there some of the best food I ever had.
I actually think hard-boiled eggs get a bad rap simply because 90% of the world simply doesn't know how to make them and cook the ever loving bejeesus out of them, making them dry, crumbly and flavorless. Definitely try some properly cooked Tea eggs or soy sauced egg, they will change your mind about hard-boiled eggs. Now I'm not saying they're best way to make eggs, but it isn't the worst way either though. But it really comes down to personal preference. Personally, I think poached eggs are a bit overrated and while I love them on certain dishes/foods, I hate they are on basically everything now. It's like if you want something to look fancy, just throw a poached egg on it and people will go crazy. i swear they so popular because it's so satisfying to pop them more than it coming down it enhancing the dish! LOL! (I full admit there is something deeply satisfying and cathartic about busting up a poached egg and watching the yolk dribble down on to your food...)
love this video! I'm headed to Lyon in a few weeks and I will definitely try this place. this was such a good video and I am now subscribed and gonna watch so many more
I'm curious: I just started watching your videos, so I haven't been able to watch everything yet, so it's possible you already covered this. Did you try andouillette while you were there? I literally have more than one story about this food where the people eating it spit it out. I don't mean any kind of disrespect to the French or their cuisine, but this particular sausage really doesn't belong on people's plates. (I want to specify that the people who have experienced this are well-rounded eaters with broad palettes)
I’m a larger un-hip fella. But I do follow simple dress rules. Button down shirts, long pants, and a scarf go a long way in Paris. I also do not speak French, but learning hello and goodbye in all establishments opens them up. I’ve traveled throughout the country, and have been treated kindly. They do like their conversations in more hushed levels. I laughed at the taking the bacon out of the salad. Maybe they should take the tripe out of the andouilette ?
Thank you for showcasing Lyon. This is the city where my mom had her first teaching job but I was never able to go with her or alone. I love being able to see content of this city as there isn't much.
NICE! Just got back from Lyon. Bro those summers can be brutal. NO AC WHAT WHAT???? Def want to check it out during the winter/Spring. How convenient was Confluence aye? Hope to see more vids.
We spent 2 days in Lyon last month. That was a MISTAKE! We should have done 4 days. The bouchons are wonderful. Great video - it's like one of my friends from the neighborhood reviewing a restaurant.
I moved to Lyon 24 years ago from the UK and have never regretted it for one moment. Next time you're there, try a bouchon called Notre Maison in the St Jean neighbourhood. It's amazing.
Tiny motorcycles - why? Gets them from place to place. That’s it, end of story. I never had a badly made bite of French food in France. Even the simplest of dishes tasted fantastic.
Warning : "graton" in Lyon is different from "gratons" in Dordogne. The latter is similar to rillettes (based on pork, duck or goose cured meat), but more greasy and can be insanely addictive.
I fully agree with your assessment of egg preparations rankings 👏😅 I have a friend moving to Lyon and I am looking forward to visiting her and eating all these wonderful things!
Rob Martinez? You married a Latina and naturally you took her last name? All jokes aside, you are SO chill. Going to Lyon in May. I think we are trying Michelin star Paul Bocuse, the wolf pastry fish. But thanks for your review. You’ve gained a fan, for sure.
Roar! Soft boiled is king. I was served a raw egg with salt and sesame oil over here in korea. You drink it in one shot and the sesame oil has it go down smooth. Might be near the bottom of the list. and what about cured yolk? Great episode as always.
Too bad I can't eat the local food while there, as I am very allergic to alcohol. Too many times they tell me it has no alcohol, then I end up getting very sick. My wife will enjoy it. Meanwhile I will be going to boring McDonalds.
I was wondering about that! I noticed that almost every dish seems to have alcohol in it, in southern Europe anyway. I wondered if people who are allergic to alcohol have other options. That's a real shame that people won't just be honest about ingredients. Someone's health is more important than a recipe.
@OG_Wonder_Woman yeah Italian food has a lot of white wine, for example. Even when you don't taste it. I thought it was supposed to cook off, but I guess not.
@@marjoriejohnson6535 I was on a tour with 31 people. Nine of us swore off alcohol. The other 8 did eat the food with alcohol in it, they just would not drink it. I was the only one not eating alcohol infused food. My tour guide made sure that none of the food provided to me by the tour had alcohol. On my free time I usually would get a hamburger at a local restaurant, but did go to McDonalds about 5 times on the 3 week trip. I was fine with it. I am used to it now. I had a great time in France.
Go and see Amboise. The rown Leonardo DaVinci lived and died at the end of his life.He is also berried there. Then go to the North of France and have some real food. Please don't think Compte has anything to do with Lyon, becaus it hasn't be like me going yea Texas Barbecue is from Arkansas. Love that name. Add an s at the end and split the word after the first s lol.
My dude, keep up the videos. This was one of the most enjoyable food videos I've ever watched on UA-cam and I've watched a fuck ton haha You actually know what you're talking about and you made me laugh more than a few times. I appreciate the authenticity. Would love to share a meal with you one day if we cross paths. 🫡
Thank you too Rob, I had a great time helping you in the making of this video !
Thanks so much Erwan!! You are a great guide.

Love this channel, I bet bro takes some mean dumps
I like your swearing!
Dude. You are one of the best food creators on this platform, one of a kind ⭐️
Bravo, best Lyon foodie video out there. And I've watched many. And great outro regarding Paris (lol) ...very relatable.

Nice to see an American guy eat something other than cheese burgers and mac and cheese. Cheers!
Processed cheese with everything 😆
Great video. Fun to watch and informative. I want to visit Lyon

did you eat the famous lyon sausage? :)
please make more
I just got back from lyon.
I had snails for starter which were amazing and calfs face for main. 😂 wouldn't recommend the calfs face😂
Quenelle de Brochet? Pike quenelle?

Rob, check out riffs beards and gear. You two look like long lost brothers.
1000% on the egg levels

Glad to help!

This video was awesome!!! I love your simplistic description (tastes kinda hot dog-ish) lol!
Hmm. Best cooking show I've seen in a while. Channeling Tony in a thoughtful, opinionated, honest way. Good show. Rest in Peace Tony
Nice video. I visited Lyon in 2004 and felt the same affection and comfort with it that made it, in my mind, like the Chicago of France.
This is an awesome video! Best nuggets of info on Lyonnaise cuisine
Excellent broll, editing and story telling
Noah!! Thanks so much man.
Noah!! Thanks so much man.

Very nice video keep it up man! Close to my idea I wanted to make for my video series 🙏
Heading to Lyon this week, so rewatched this! Looking forward to Season 3!
One day 😅
Everything fusioned
Love love love! My favourite episode yet! A love letter to Lyon and Lyonnaise food 😍❤️
❤️
If action Bronson had a skinnier brother 😂!! Love the videos❤️
Not the silk worker slander!! 🤣

I love the bouchons in Lyon so much that we're moving there!!
Great video Robert, more from Lyon please

Noted!
Hi! I live in Lyon. I will try this bouchon for sure. Did you try the chicken liver paté? This is also very typical from here. Have a great day!
I did not! But everything there is really homemade and special, so let me know if you try it.
@@EatingWithRobert i will 👍👍👍
Why doesn't he have more subs!

Never had a cured yolk but I do love a raw egg on warm rice with sesame oil and soy sauce. Might be my #1
if UA-cam lets it go then you know it just can’t be anything… because believe me if there’s one thing this site knows how to do that is censor
It's cheaper on gas to ride motorcycles
About how much does food cost a day
how about a steamed egg?
Fried over hard numba 1
Deviled numba 2
Deviled okay but over hard is rough
“Cooked in a SPLEEN? “ Vraiment?
Im 100% with you on the egg situation 😂
Dude you love eggs and you didn’t list coddled eggs?! It supersedes all other forms imo
Il parle trop fort
Too much bullshit between the foods. Speed it up next time.
Lyon is so over lvl for food
Please make a season 3
Thanks! I am planning season 3. It would be super helpful if you can share the show with any friends who like these types of videos 🙏
Nice.... .I......111
