Bistro group outlets

Busy at the Bistro group

 

The origin of the word Bistro is always a matter of discussion around any table. The reality is that it is merely a casual eatery that serves homey dishes and wine. . . . an abbreviation for the word bistrouille, a word used in northern France for a mixture of coffee and brandy. . . (The Encyclopedia of Food" by Jacques Rolland and Carol Sherman) much like what would be served in a a french roadside eatery favoring whatever local produce is available at the time, and on that day. Others on the other hand say it comes from a Russian word, pronounced similarly and more often shouted “BISTRO!” meaning quickly as is typical of the service you can find in any bistro today, quick , crisp and tasty. David Wilhelm, President of Culinary adventures calls bistro cuisine as French comfort food, satisfying and straightforward. Wherever the word may have come from, it certainly has started a trend worldwide to denote fast, flavorful and fun food for the family to enjoy. 

As we plan the rounds we make in this selection we realize that the four major continents of the Americas, Asia, Europe and Australia are represented and this series will be pretty much like circling the globe to know what its like to have a taste of the world but right in our own backyard.

We take our first bite into the seafood pleasures of Fish and Co. then do a quick switch into the All-American muscle of TGIFriday’s where everyday is Friday’s, mythical land of more than just burgers and fries as we shall soon see when we find out what new things lie in store for us there. Outback steakhouse takes us to the land down under, right in the American heartland. Its an American ‘s dream mates! And finally we go back to the slicked back hairstyles, and American Italian flavor of Italiannnis where the taste of Europe has met its match in the American Appetite for excess.
