The other day I got an e-mail from the Western Culinary Institute containing a press release about their upcoming Bastille Day celebration. This made me happy because — 1. the lunch sounds really good and I totally want to go and 2. someone at WCI reads my blog and thought to send me a press release. Yay! So, I will pass this on for any Portland area people, as it sounds great and the price certainly cannot be beat.

This year, Western Culinary Institute’s Restaurant Bleu, located at 921 S.W.
