re: Cochon Lafayette for lunch

I've been a few times, and while I have no problems with the prices, I end up spending too much because you can't insult the chef by asking for substitutions, so I have to order a salad or something a la carte in addition to the entree. It's not that I wouldn't love to eat any of the dinners as they come ... but I'm trying to stay away from carbs. Some people think I have the wrong attitude and should stay home, but shouldn't they want my money, anyway?

The wood oven roasted oyster app is wonderful!
