    Here I am with my parents and brother in front of our restaurant A La Banane Ivoirienne in the Eleventh Arrondisement. We’ve owned it for 25 years and it’s famous for serving the best cuisine of my father’s homeland, the Ivory Coast.

    Lunchtime! Make sure to have a croque madame or a croque monsieur while you are here. I’m at La Palette in Saint-Germain; it’s just what you expect a Parisian café to be.
