There is no substitute for good french food. It is the basis and the standard for most cuisnes. The recent food fads in the US and probably GB use all french techniques and lack the complexity, tradition and history of the food in France. It is possible to find bad food in France but that is usually because the person doing it is not doing it properly. Rarely is the food itself the cause.
