Thanks for the kind hat tip David. I started reading and thought, “I can’t believe you are going to Oxford. I’m so envious” and then I saw you remembered.
I read your piece in the FT yesterday by the fire. It's seriously foggy here and we can't see much out the windows except the ghostly outlines of the barns etc... it is good reading weather. We only harvested the grapes here a week ago. Something nice about having the harvest in and imagining the winter ahead and the books one will read and the great staples of the winter table. I've always shied away from choucroute garnie, but I will give it a chance now that I see where The Contender stands on the issue and I'll check out the books too.
Wonderful piece about Alsace. Made want to return there as soon as possible. Your descriptions of Colmar, Kaysersberg,and Strasbourg brought back great memories of the scenes, the people and the food. My wife and I have spent time in almost every place you describe (except Crocodile dommage). We stayed and dined at Le Chambard, had the best fois gras ever in Colmar, choucroute at Chez Yvonne , and tarte flambée at a cafe in Kaysersberg. Your mention of Paris in Winter made go to the shelves and pull out my own copy, which I will be paging through again. Merci.
I'm disappointed I'll miss your Knoxville appearance, but hope you enjoy your time here in the South. Check out McKay's, our version of the Strand, though a bit more spacious. Looks like it's spitting distance from McClellan. And I loved the Alsace article!
Really enjoyed “Eating in Alsace”. I had to regularly look up the food you mention, which made it all the more fun as I saw some beautiful dishes. But it also made me very hungry.

Because of you!

Do You Remember England? Oh yes. In the future I hope we're not going around saying Do You Remember America?
Good luck at your book events. Beware of Faulkner’s ghost. Thanks for Paris in Winter mention. Love, Dad
Thanks Dad!
City Grocery is a must in Oxford - restaurant and bar.
Enjoy Oxford and I hope you get to go to the Georgia game!
Any option for having "Big Dave" sign a copy of Paris In Winter to ship?
Long shot, but needed to ask.
Thank you-
I think if you DM him on Instagram he’ll be able to sort it out. @drcoggins
Thank you.
Can’t make it to Oxford although I’m just a couple hours away in Jackson. Would love a signed copy.
If you contact the bookstore in Oxford they can send you one.

Hmmm I just got the old version of Paris in winter 😉😍
Collector’s edition!

Pre-ordered Paris!!
Nice!
Have a wonderful time in the south.
Come to the Contender for the khakis... stay for the book recommendations.

Have a great trip, David! Hopefully you can make your way through the Philadelphia area some day! Maybe an Orvis store or Juniors.
