an illustrated journey of an american in paris
The nostalgia-inducing pulled pork at Frenchie to Go made me weepy for the motherland.
Poached eggs, a barley hashbrown and sauteed mushrooms at HOLYBELLY.
And a perfect filter coffee at TEN BELLES.
How shall I wrap up my week of bobo eats?

Jessie Kanelos Weiner Studio is a stretch. It happens to be my kitchen. Most days when I can look beyond the sink full of dirty dishes (paging mon mari!), the lighting is the most optimistic and my narrow marble table limits my bordel at arm’s length. But collage poses its own domestic mark. I am still discovering tiny paper limes slices all over the kitchen. And life imitating art, most of the food I prepared this summer was peppered with tiny paper pieces.

I’ve really got the best of both worlds, food styling and illustrating. I love collaborating on photo shoots, the lengthy French lunches and the back-patting and high-fiving that I have shared when creating a beautiful image. And illustrating indulges my introverted ways: all-day NPR, working barefoot and making cakes when distracted. But it’s a bit lonely working from home. When the self-talking begins, I know it’s time to get out of the house. Even without a set coffee date, I have acquired a few places where I am warmly greeted and can regain a pinch of sanity before mon mari gets home at night.
Today I have found my new place, Holybelly. I met Nico and Sarah, its kind and charismatic owners, a few months back at a dinner hosted by Kinfolk Magazine. Since their pending café promised their contagious passion for good food and hospitality, I began counting down the days. The grand opening was today!
A perfect latté and pecan cookie were just what I needed to fuel a massive to-do list and carry on with my day.
