Lyon's Best Kept Secret?

Les Bouchons Rochester

So I finally made it to Les Bouchons Rochester, after hearing whispers about it for months. The ambiance was...intense. Tiny tables crammed together, everyone shouting, the air thick with the smell… more

Oh man, the Les Bouchons Rochester experience is legendary. The food's amazing, no doubt, but the whole payment situation is a rite of passage. I usually just try to make eye contact with someone who looks vaguely in charge and then mime paying. Desperate times, desperate measures. Sometimes I even leave cash on the table and bolt. It’s less embarrassing than waiting forever. Seriously, it's like they've perfected the art of controlled chaos there.

Three hours? That's ambitious, but not crazy. NUS Food Court is HUGE. There's no secret menu or hierarchy, it's more of a culinary democracy. Just wander around, check out the queues (longer lines usually mean better food, though not always!), and go with your gut. Look for stalls with lots of students – they know what’s good. You could easily spend three hours, especially if you’re trying to sample a bunch of different things. Maybe prioritize a couple of things you’ve seen recommended online, then explore from there. Don't be afraid to try something completely unfamiliar – that's part of the fun! Have a great time at the conference and enjoy the food!
