St. Louis - Lyon Sister Cities

France will host this year’s Rugby World Cup from September 8 to October 28 with 5 matches scheduled in Parc Olympique Lyonnais.  

 Regarded as one of the world’s most prestigious cooking competitions, Bocuse d’Or crowned its new champion on January 23. Held at the Salon International de la Restauration, the top prize was awarded to the Danish team led by head chef Brian Hensen. 

Yep, there’s nothing like Mom’s cooking, especially in Lyon. Since the 2nd century B.C., Lyon has been dishing up homey cuisine to both travelers and locals. By the 18th century, bouchons run by Lyon’s Mothers were making their mark on the city’s cuisine. With a goal of not wasting anything, inferior meat cuts were elevated along with the bouchons’ reputation for producing refined yet hearty fare.
