Marie Antoinette Fan Site

The Press Club was voted Best New Restaurant and the owner/head chef George Calombaris was voted best Chef of the Year for 2008 by The Age Good Food Guide.

The Press Club is actually a Modern Greek restaurant. It is inside the former Herald and Weekly Times building on Flinders Street which is a building made of solid gray stone.

It seemed odd and out of place to have a Greek restaurant in such a modern setting as I am so used to having Greek food in informal surrounds, being Greek that means home, a friends house or a tavern.

There are large windows all around the building and peering in; the tables, all quite dark in color again seemed a bit odd. I thought how strange it is that we were going to be eating a Greek meal in such a sophisticated, formal setting.

On the sidewalk just outside the door was a gleaming gold flap board advertising the restaurant. It looked like something Marie Antoinette would have outside her bedroom door announcing she was in!

The reason we were here was for my mother who is a huge fan of George Calombaris who appears on her favourite show Ready, Steady Cook. We she found out he had a restaurant of his own we all had to go.

We opened the large heavy glass door, stepped up the dark wooden stairs and into the restaurant. We were warmly greeted and then seated right by the door. But we were ok. My mother was excited because we were finally here.

I was secretly worried as here was a restaurant serving my family food that my mother makes at home. No-one cooks better than Mamma. It had better be good. It was decided that we would have Kerasma. It is the name of their four course lunch meal. Everyone shares from the plates as is traditional in any Greek tavern.

First up came a platter of food on a large wooden plank. It had many different home made dips which is the only way to eat them, lovely Kalamata olives – my favourite and pita bread. All delicious.

The tray was left on our table as the next course came out.

It was the fish course. It had absolutely delicious slices of whiting cooked as I remember them in Greece. So delicious. There were also small prawns fried in their shells and eaten whole. I was a bit skeptical but they were incredibly good too. This course brought back memories of food I ate in Greece. Always dreaming of Greece. The memories were flooding back and all I wanted to do was get on the next flight out!

The next course was a mixture of delicious meats including chicken with pistachio nuts, yum. Being lactose intolerant I received specially made chicken. My sister being a vegetarian received vegies wrapped in filo pastry that was satisfying.

There were also incredibly good roast potatoes. My father loved the roasted goats meat. This made me incredibly happy. If my parents were singing the praises then is was exceptional.

As we were enjoying the meals I spied George Calombaris in the kitchen. I quietly whispered in the ear of our waiter who was a lovely young man that my mother was a big fan and if he wouldn’t mind asking George to come over and say hello.

My mother was absolutely thrilled. George was a perfect gentleman and he laughed heartily during their conversation. He was duly complimented by my parents as to how good the meal was. Everyone was happy.

Throughout this meal I had a glass of Veuve Cliquot which was divine. It was chilled and tasted great with everything.

Dessert is always my favourite and what a special treat it was too. It came in a long white carton box. Opening this treasure we were to find gold. There was baklava, chocolate baklava and my favourite – loukoumades. These are golden balls of dough deep fried and rolled in honey. I prefer sugar but they were still unbelievable.

It was a great day out and my mother was thrilled. If Mamma is happy than what are you waiting for?

marie antoinette movie music

Question: What is the classical music piece played during the wedding dance in the movie Marie Antoinette?

I love this piece of music and it is not on the soundtrack. It is played during the scene after Kristin Dunst and Jason Shwartzman are married and they have their first dance. It must be from the Baroque period.

French Revolution American Revolution Similarities

Question: Why wasnt there a “Reign of Terror” during the American Revolution?

If there was a Reign of Terror during the French Revolution, why wasnt there a Reign of Terror during the American Revolution? What are some similarities between the two wars??

Answer: Depends on whether your referring to the War of Independence of 1775-1783, or to the larger political revolution between 1763 (first serious rumbles of discontent with London) and 1800 (Adams and Jefferson, the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans).

For the revolutionary war itself, not everything was as rosy as some people think. Tories were attacked, beaten, and even executed for not being Patriots. And vice versa. The partisan warfare in the South was especially vicious.

France, now...France went through the Terror partly out of paranoia from the foreign invasions and threats issued against the constitutional-monarchy and then republican experiment. The Committee of Public Safety tried to consolidate power into one group to combat external invasion and internal dissent, and weren't too forgiving with its enemies -- which is why they were very liberal with employing the charms of Madame Guillotine.

Also, to the poster who posted just above mine -- Oliver Cromwell died a hundred and thirty years before the fall of the Bastile. He couldn't seriously take part in the French Revolution. He was also an English Puritan.
