Cole Porter's simple, but lovely song sung by Frank Sinatra is ringing in my ears while I write this post:
I love paris in the spring time
I love paris in the fall
I love paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love paris, why oh why do I love paris
Because my love is here

We love the FOOD in Paris,  No surprise there.  Maybe you are planning a trip this year to that amazing city or possibly only dreaming of going.  Either way, you'll enjoy hearing the recent food exploits of Lonnie and Valerie Gamble during our next show. They returned a couple of weeks ago from a month's stay with Valerie's mom and shared their thoughts on how to eat well and not spend a fortune while talking with Kathy and me.

Pizza, croissants, a bad truffle experience and more as Great Taste explores Parisian food delights with the Gambles.  See the list below for the details on Lonnie and Valerie's Paris food "insider" tips.

Listen to the stream at kruufm.com.  This interview was pre-recorded so don't come to the studio looking for macarons from PIERRE HERMÉ!

We will be back LIVE next week with the Indian Hills culinary crew.
