Le Fooding and S.Pellegrino Celebrate 'La Revanche des Faubourgs'

Le Fooding and S.Pellegrino Celebrate “La Revanche des Faubourgs” 

The trendy food guide Le Fooding is turning 15 years old this spring. For the occasion, a big international event of Parisian flair will take place with a music and food theme: la revanche des faubourgs (the revenge of the districts). A reference to the early days of the guide amidst the best fine dining addresses of the rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine without forgetting to encourage the promotion of more independent culinary experience, always associated to the world of contemporary art.
