MENUS PLAISIRS: LES Troisgros

A film by Frederick Wiseman
Wexner Center for the Arts.
Tickets available now at Wexarts.org

Plus a bonus touch!
The Refectory is going to provide a small dessert to movie goers. I think that it is chocolate mousse!

This documentary film by Frederick Wiseman provides an inside look at La Maison Troisgros, the renowned restaurant in Roanne, France owned and operated by four generations of the Troisgros family. The film won the NY Film Critics Circle award as the best non-fiction film of 2023. We will be gathering at the OSU union for a snack at 12:00 before the show. We anticipate that some of us may not stay for the full 4 hours!

If you are coming, please let Gail Walter know, at: gailwalter@columbus.rr.com
