A dish that tells its story — Coq au Vin reviewed

You can taste history in Coq au Vin if you know what to look for. French cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The buttery and aromatic character reflects those layers — thyme doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition.

The a brasserie lunch setting made sense of it. You understand the food differently when the context is right. Burgundy red wine alongside is part of that story. Some food is just fuel. Coq au Vin, properly made, is something more. This version told the story well.
