Hank compliments Monsieur Vrinat, saying he had heard from more than one source that Taillevent is the best restaurant in the world, and that he had found no evidence to gainsay them. Vrinat demurs with what is obviously a set piece, saying, "Ah, well. It is the best restaurant in the street." Rue Lamennais is all of one city block long. We laugh, shake hands and amble off, happy, replete and carrying with us the warmth of this most famous of restaurants. We are ready to enjoy the rest of our stay in Paris as members of the elect, the fortunate few, After Taillevent.
