L'Entrecôte
Around the world, many restaurants featuring steak dishes use the word ''entrecôte'' as their name or part of their name. In particular, the name L'Entrecôte has come to identify three groups of restaurants owned by two sisters and one brother of the Gineste de Saurs family, which specialize in the '' contre-filet'' cut of sirloin and serve it in the typical French bistro style of ''steak-frites'', or steak and French fries: * L'Entrecôte is the popular nickname of the restaurant Le Relais de Venise – L'Entrecôte, founded by Paul Gineste de Saurs in Paris's 17th ''arrondissement'' near Porte Maillot. Now run by one of his daughters, the restaurant is widely known as L'Entrecôte Porte-Maillot. It has eight additional locations operating under licence, three in London, one in Bahrain, two in New York, and one in Mexico. * L'Entrecôte is the legal name of a group of restaurants established by a son of Paul Gineste de Saurs, with locations in Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes, Montp ...

Gineste De Saurs
The Gineste de Saurs family of wine producers has lived in southern France since the fourteenth century. The family ''château'', situated in Lisle-sur-Tarn 50 kilometres northeast of Toulouse, was built from 1848 to 1852 by Eliezer Gineste de Saurs and serves as the headquarters for the family's Château de Saurs wine business, headed by Marie-Paule Burrus and her husband Yves Burrus, a scion of Switzerland's Burrus family of industrialists. Paul Gineste de Saurs In 1959, Paul Gineste de Saurs established a restaurant in the 17th ''arrondissement'' of Paris, near Porte Maillot, offering but one main dish: the traditional French bistro meal of ''steak-frites'', or steak-and-chips. The beefsteak used was the cut of sirloin known in French as ''contre-filet'' or ''entrecôte'', and accordingly the restaurant was named Le Relais de Venise – L'Entrecôte. Where most restaurants served ''steak-frites'' with herbed butter, Le Relais de Venise instead served the dish with a complex b ...

Café De Paris Sauce
Café de Paris sauce is a butter-based sauce served with grilled beef. When it is served with the sliced portion of an ''entrecôte'' (in American English: a rib eye steak) or a ''faux-filet'' (in English: a sirloin steak) the resulting dish is known as "''entrecôte'' Café de Paris". History The sauce was first popularised in the 1930s by the Café de Paris restaurant in Geneva, then owned by Arthur-François (Freddy) Dumont, and ''entrecôte'' Café de Paris remains the restaurant's speciality. The Café de Paris attributes the origin of the sauce to Mr Dumont's father-in-law, Mr Boubier. Today the restaurant also ships the sauce to several other restaurants which serve it under licence: the Café de Paris in Lausanne, the À l'Entrecôte in Sion (Switzerland), the Brasserie L'Entrecôte in Lisbon and Porto, and the Entrecôte Café de Paris restaurants in Dubai, Kuwait, Riyadh, Hong Kong and Stockholm. A closely similar sauce is also served by the Entrecôte groups of restau ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Steak-frites - Le Relais De L'Entrecôte (Geneva)
''Steak frites'', meaning "steak ndfries" in French, is a dish consisting of steak paired with French fries. It is commonly served in European brasseries, and is considered by some to be the national dish of Belgium, which claims to be the place of its invention. Historically, the rump steak was commonly used for this dish. More typically at the present time, the steak is an entrecôte also called rib eye, or scotch fillet (in Australia), pan-fried rare ("''saignant''"—literally "bloody"), in a pan reduction sauce, sometimes with hollandaise or béarnaise sauce, served with deep-fried potatoes (French fries). Francophilia led to its generalization to the Portuguese-speaking world, where it is called or , especially in Brazil, where the sauce is usually just onion rings cooked and fried in the steak's own juice and frying oil, being the most popular dish to go aside rice and beans.

Entrecôte
In French, ''entrecôte'' () is a premium cut of beef used for steaks and roasts. A traditional ''entrecôte'' is a boneless cut from the rib area corresponding to the steaks known in different parts of the English-speaking world as rib, rib eye, Scotch fillet, club, or Delmonico. The muscle group concerned is the ''longissimus dorsi'', which runs down the back of the animal adjacent to the vertebrae and above the rib cage, and continues into the hind quarter. Once past the rib cage into the area adjacent to the lumbar vertebrae, this muscle group is no longer called an "entrecôte"—at that point it becomes a sirloin/strip steak (UK/N.Am, respectively), or a ''contre-filet'' in French.

Thyme
Thyme () is the herb (dried aerial parts) of some members of the genus ''Thymus'' of aromatic perennial evergreen herbs in the mint family Lamiaceae. Thymes are relatives of the oregano genus ''Origanum'', with both plants being mostly indigenous to the Mediterranean region. Thymes have culinary, medicinal, and ornamental uses, and the species most commonly cultivated and used for culinary purposes is ''Thymus vulgaris''. History Thyme is indigenous to the Mediterranean region. Wild thyme grows in the Levant, where it might have been first cultivated. Ancient Egyptians used thyme for embalming. The ancient Greeks used it in their baths and burnt it as incense in their temples, believing it was a source of courage. The spread of thyme throughout Europe was thought to be due to the Romans, as they used it to purify their rooms and to "give an aromatic flavour to cheese and liqueurs". In the European Middle Ages, the herb was placed beneath pillows to aid sleep and ward off ni ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chicken Liver
The chicken (''Gallus gallus domesticus'') is a domesticated junglefowl species, with attributes of wild species such as the grey and the Ceylon junglefowl that are originally from Southeastern Asia. Rooster or cock is a term for an adult male bird, and a younger male may be called a cockerel. A male that has been castrated is a capon. An adult female bird is called a hen and a sexually immature female is called a pullet. Humans now keep chickens primarily as a source of food (consuming both their meat and eggs) and as pets.

Chickens are one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of 23.7 billion , up from more than 19 billion in 2011. There are more chickens in the world than any other bird. There are numerous cultural references to chickens – in myth, folklore and religion, and in language and literature.
