French Metro Antiques is packed with foodie treasures. Oui!

May 14, 2012 Leave a Comment

Bonjour!  I am feeling very French today!

Did you know that we have a French treasure trove to explore in our very own backyard?  French Metro Antiques on Dickson Street in Fayetteville will satisfy your inner Francophile.  Put it on your to-do-right-away list.

What is the foodie connection, you ask?

Tucked throughout the nooks and crannies of this gorgeous antique store are kitchen gadgets and accessories. Believe me, I possess massive spending restraint each time I go in this store.  What’s not to love about charming wine racks, hammered copper cooking pots, and candlestick holders?  Seriously, if you want to add a special touch to a remodel or add that perfect I-must-have-this-instant-ambiance, French Metro Antiques is your place.

Of course, those of us in Northwest Arkansas are extremely privileged to have this charming store in our backyard.  But don’t worry if you aren’t from our neck of the woods (which is crazy, move here already) because French Metro Antiques posts items online that are available for sale!  They ship worldwide.

Yes, even to France.

Want to know about my latest foodie find?

(It could’ve been yours.)

This 19th century mossy green cast iron enameled trivet with a heating element (a tea light fits perfectly!) is mine.  All mine.  It is perfect for keeping my team warm after boiling water on the stove.

Oooo la la!

Here’s another super foodie tip…

French Metro Antiques can be YOUR personal shopper.  Always wish you had that “perfect” accessories or item?  Contact them and describe your wish list.  They will keep their eyes open next time they are on an antique buying trip in France.

I’m so doing this.

I’ve always wanted a gorgeous coffee percolator.  And a slow-cooker.  Something with charm.  Who knows?  Maybe there is a mossy green cast iron enameled one out there just waiting for me.

What’s your dream French antique?

No, Jacque Cousteau doesn’t count.

Bon Appétit!

Eat well, my friends.  Eat well.

  • There are experts in the field of minimalism that tell us to pull the metaphorical Band-Aid off. To just attack our clutter with gusto and have everything that doesn’t matter to us go bye-bye. I really like that train of thought. In fact, I tell myself that is what I am doing and then lo and behold I find myself months later going back to the same pile and doing it again. It’s not that I have added anything to the pile. Rather, I find that what seemed like important to me at the time becomes less so the more I purge.

  • Ad. #ARSoyStory This month the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Boards’ Kitchen|Fields Table Tour highlights a bone-in pork chop with soybean succotash served at the Postmaster’s Grill restaurant in Camden, Arkansas. Unfortunately, I live five hours North of Camden and I don’t eat pork. Ha! But that’s not stopping me……….. and that doesn’t have to stop you! Inspired by the Postmaster’s Grill, I have created us a soybean succotash recipe with turkey ham, fresh corn-on-the-cobb, frozen organic soybeans and a hint of tomatoes. This dish is vibrant, delicious, and super easy to pull together. Recipe link in bio 👆🏻and in comments👇🏻.
  • The secret to a deliciously perfect oven-roasted chicken? Butter. Butter. Butter. Oh and a touch of butter! Baked this little girl yesterday and captured the essense of the drippings by making a insanely delightful jus with a secret ingredient. Coming soon to the blog! Stay tuned!
  • Ad. Breakfast of champions! Actually, more like breakfast-through-mid-morning of champions! 🙌🏻 (That’s a huge plate right there!) 🍅 drizzled with olive oil and @denigris1889usa balsamic vinegar of Modena with 35% concentrated grape must for the win! There was so much goodness on this plate that I decided to skip the eggs! What does YOUR breakfast of champions look like today?
  • No matter what, there are always staples I keep on hand when it comes to veggies. Mushrooms, zucchini, squash, cauliflower and romaine. Oh, and cute cherry tomatoes. Along with my pantry, fridge, and freezer staples, these vegetables make it so I am always prepared for a delicious and quick meal if someone drops by. What are your go-to veggie staples? Or, are you right now thinking, “What the heck is a veggie staple?!” 😂
  • #ad  Okay, raise of hands… Who is ready to order the Ricotta Cavatelli with soybeans, shiitake and Parmesan the next time you visit The Hive in Bentonville? Why not enjoy a delicious meal AND feel good about supporting Arkansas farmers at the same time? #ARSoyStory @arkansassoybeans

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
