An artisanal food truck has come to Paris, and for those fancy frog leg chompers, it’s a big freaking deal. From today’s Times:

Among young Parisians, there is currently no greater praise for cuisine than “très Brooklyn,” a term that signifies a particularly cool combination of informality, creativity and quality.

The story goes on to say the desire to New York-ify Paris by making eating a more informal affair is growing, which apparently is what happens on Law & Order.

“We see it on all the police shows on television,” said Sophie Juteau, who was among the first in line for Le Camion Qui Fume’s dinner shift. “Eating from the ice cream trucks, the hot-dog carts: that is, like, our dream.”
