July 15, 2004, Somewhere, France: Here I am sipping Perrier at the Barathym, a mysterious-looking restaurant isolated on the side of a road heading to Bourgoin-Jallieu. Yesterday, Mike and I ate here exactly two years after we met in Nice. I'd been pushing to eat at Barathym for over a year, and my dream came true yesterday over a plate of poulet and Perrier!
