From the street looking in, a stolen photo taken through the kitchen window of a city café.Soccer on the giant screen TV kept patrons and waiter looking the other way. I slipped my camera through the bars and shot quickly. The steak and egg plates are ready on the kitchen bench but they will have to wait. The waiter is mesmerized: sports come first!
Arrière-cuisine : Depuis la rue, une photo volée par la fenêtre de la cuisine d'un café. Clients et serveur, tout le monde n'avait d'yeux que pour le foot sur écran géant à l'autre bout de la salle. J'ai glissé mon appareil photo entre les barreaux de la fenêtre et j'ai cliqué en vitesse. Les steaks à cheval tout prêts sur le comptoir devront attendre : le serveur est occupé, le sport avant tout !!!
S'il vous plait dites nous le nom de ce restaurant que nous n'y allions pas... au moins, les jours de match de foot...
ReplyDeleteEffectivement café resto à éviter les jours de foot. Les steacks à cheval vnt refroidir.
ReplyDeleteLorsqu'il y a match de foot ; ils ne servent que des steack à âne !!
ReplyDeleteEn tout cas la cuisine semble bien propre. Manque plus que la toque pour le cuistot.
Une voleuse d'image à Avignon...et bien c'est du propre ;-)
ReplyDeleteFaute avouée est à moitiée pardonnée
Oui, la cuisine semble bien propre.
ReplyDeleteNathalie, This is a superbly done and fun sneaky shot. I love all the detail and how sharp and crisp your shot is. We could be in the kitchen ourselves here!

Nice stolen photo.
ReplyDeleteWonder what kind of sport he's watching?
Soccer? Surely not? Le Tour?

Tight quarters in that tiny kitchen. I imagine when everyone is really WORKING, it gets pretty hectic.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, yes! What soccer is it now? Don't they ever have an off-season these days?
ReplyDeleteHere’s what happens when you wait a couple of hours to see the pope pass by…

I have to confess the photo is a couple of weeks old: it was taken on the night of the soccer Euro 2008 final !
ReplyDeleteJe dois avouer que cette photo a quelques semaines : elle a été prise le soir de la finale de l'Euro 2008 de foot !
The photograph provides a great glimpse (and priorities) to the inner sanctum of a restaurant.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry about the date, as I doubt the food being served two weeks later could be any colder ;-)
I love stolen photographs. Gosh, horse steaks do I read? We have a horse meat butcher in Menton market but I've never actually seen it on a menu.
ReplyDeleteWhen Italy and France played each other one time in the World Cup (I think) the Cafe de Paris in Monaco had to put televisions on the ledges between the tables so patrons could watch and eat - else the place would have been empty! Perhaps the chefs had a television too.
Jilly, the French expression "steak à cheval" does not mean "steak de cheval" (horse steak) but steak with mirror egg on top. I have no idea how the name came about, I suppose the egg is riding the steak as if on horseback ?!?
ReplyDeleteSteak and eggs = double thumbs ups!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great ‘stolen’ photograph.
C'est bien que tu as avoué pour la date!
ReplyDeleteDe tout façon, ce n'est pas le moment de bouffer - en pleine finale!
Les peufs ont du finir de cuire dans les assiettes! :)
