Please; part two

Idk how to tag this onto part one bc im on mobile butttttt here’s part two folks

———

“We’ll find him.”

“What?”

Davey wants

To die.

“We’re going to find him before they kill him. We’re gonna rescue him. Come on.”

Al stands up, but Davey stays down.

——-

Maybe it’s time to be angry.

“He was taken by the strongest anti-vampire society in New York, doll. We’re not gonna find him. If I’m lucky, I’ll find his shirt.”

“Don’t be pessimistic, we can do this.”

Davey stands.

———

“When did this become a “we” thing?”

“I-“

“You’re right. It didn’t. Let me grieve in peace.”

“It hasn’t even happened yet!”

“He was supposed to be here an hour ago, Al! Of course it’s happened!”

“You don’t know for a fact! What if-“

“Don’t finish that sentence, Albert Dasilva. I’m still hungry.”

———

Albert scoffs.

“What if you had a chance to rescue him, but you didn’t? That would make it your fau-“

Davey’s hand is holding Al by his shirt up against the wall. His voice has a growl even he’s never heard before.

“Stop. Before. You get. Hurt.”

———

“... I can’t let this happen.”

“You can’t stop what’s already happened.”

Albert struggles, and Davey focuses. Again.

“You nervous, doll? Are you scared?”

Albert swallows, and Davey follows the way his throat moves.

“Come on doll, answer me.”

Davey moves and quickly puts Albert’s wrists above his head.

“I’m scared for h-him, Davey. Let me go.”

But Davey can hear his heartbeat, and Al is lying.

“Relax, Al. You’ll forget about it soon.”

“What- David, doNT-“

And David bites him.

———

It’s funny, he’s only drank deer for the last 80 years.

Sarah got him to do it, she didn’t want him to be a murderer.

He’s missed this.

“Davey... Davey, please...”

He sucks harder, and though he can’t see it, Albert’s eyes flutter.

“Please... I’m getting dizzy...”

And now the tears. Davey can feel them hitting the back of his neck, and for a second he’s annoyed.

Albert’s gone almost limp.

“I’m s-sorry... Please, don’t-“

He drops Al, who’s knees buckle when his feet hit the floor.

———

When Albert’s safe on the couch, Davey checks his tattoo. His last tattoo. Him, Sarah, and Les has gotten a witch to do it for them. If one of them died, the tattoo would leave.

———

Sarah’s name had left, just like it should’ve.

And now Les’s.

———

He stalked back over to Albert.

He could finish him right now, if he wanted to.

There’s still a little bit of blood dripping out of his neck, and Davey licks it.

“D-Don’t-“

Albert is weak, but he’s trying to push Davey off of him

It’s not working.

If anything, it makes Davey want to do it more.

“Goodnight, doll.”

“No... no, please...”

Davey takes a long drink, and Albert is out.

———

He can hear his heartbeat fading.

Soon, it’ll be gone.

Davey doesn’t want to hear it when it does.

———

Maybe his building will be tall enough.

———

Al woke up slowly.

He wasn’t dizzy anymore, but he felt... light.

He stood up, and realized he wasn’t dead.

“Shit-“

The apartment was empty.

Albert was angry.

“DAVID!”

———

How was he supposed to find-

He could smell him.

Chocolate, blood. Old books. Albert raced up the steps with energy he’d never had before.

He didn’t want this.

He didn’t want this at all.

———

Davey was standing on the edge

His eyes were closed

He’d cut a thin line over the spot where Les’s name used to be

He’d wanted it to bleed

But it didn’t.

———

He’d thought about lighting himself on fire

But he didn’t have the nerve

So this would have to work.

He took a deep breath

Should it be his last?

Should he hold it as he fell?

He leaned forward-

———

Albert grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him back off the edge

Davey hit the ground and got the air knocked out of him

“Why didn’t you kill me, David?”

Now he can breathe, and he gasps for it

“I’m going to have to watch my family die.”

Davey’s crying again

This is turning out to be a day

“It’s not that bad. But you don’t get used to it.”

———

Albert pulls him up, and suddenly he’s the one being pressed against the wall.

Albert shoves him again, and again, and again

Davey just keeps crying

“Why would you do that? Why would you do this?”

Davey brings his hands up to wipe his eyes but Al pins them to the wall by his head

“How does that feel? Do you know how scared I was!? Do you know how scared I am?!”

“Leave me alone! Shut up!”

“Make me, asshole!”

———

Davey used to be able to get out

Easy

But Al’s stronger then him now

So he just squirms

And cries

“I can’t I can’t I can’t I can’t I can’t do it anymore I’m sorry I just want to stop-“

His legs are all shaky

“Just let me jump. Let me try. Let me go. Let me go let me go let me g o-“

———

Albert hugs him

And they both sink to the ground

Albert is confused, and sad, but his anger is leaving

Davey can’t do emotions at the moment

He doesn’t want them

But he clings to Albert and cries

———

“I can’t let you do that.”

He’s sniffling. It’s pathetic. 323 years old, and he hasn’t felt this much in decades

“Why?”

He hates the way his voice sounds, and he groans.

“You’re punishing me, aren’t you, doll.”

“No. No, baby. I’m not punishing you.”

“Could you? Would you? Please?”

Is he begging?

Yes.

“Please, doll. Hurt me.”

———

And Al wants to.

He really wants to.

But he won’t.

“No. I can’t. Come on.”

He pulls David up, and drags him, stumbling, to the stairs.

“I don’t want to- let me jump, Al, let me go-“

“No. Come on.”

“Where are we going?”

———

“We’re going to find my dad. And my brothers.”

“And then what?”

Davey stumbles again, and almost falls down the stairs. That wouldn’t be so bad.

Al rolls his eyes and throws Davey over his shoulder. He couldn’t do this before. Now he can.

“You’re gonna turn them. And we’re gonna be your new family.”

———

Davey likes the sound of that.

“Are you gonna tell them I almost killed you?”

“No, baby.”

“Can I get down now?”

“No, baby.”

They reach the street, and Albert throws him in the car.

“Stay still.”

He buckles him in

“Thanks doll.”

Davey winks, and Al rolls his eyes

———

“Can I kiss you?”

Albert sighs.

“Yeah, baby.”

———

and yeah yall thats the end thanks for sticking with me through my writing dump

Owls Rout Gophers 17-9.

Gophers 9 Owls 17 W-Drumheller (1-0) L-Liffrig (0-1)

The Minnesota Gophers wrapped up their first series of the year in Boca Raton tonight. They hoped for a sweep against Florida Atlantic before heading to the Gulf Coast of Florida. The Owls bats stayed hot from yesterday in the first inning. Armando Albert led-off and lined a single to center. Gabriel Rincones hit a run-scoring double to center to put Florida Atlantic on the board early. The Gophers answered in the second as Otto Grimm reached on an error by Nathan Schanuel. Jack Kelly reached on an infield single. Two batters later, Easton Bertrand crushed a Tibur Rivero offering out to right for a three-run homer. Minnesota had a 3-1 lead, but it didn’t last long. Florida Atlantic responded when Jackson Ross led-off with a double to right field. Armando Albert drew a walk and Gabriel Rincones blasted a Jack Liffrig pitch out to deep right field for a three-run homer. This put the Owls up 4-3 after two innings of play. The ball kept flying in the third when Ronnie Sweeney hammered a Tibur Rivero pitch out to right for a solo blast. This tied the game up at four apiece and the Owls continued to mash. Steven Loden and Nicholas Toney started the third with seeing eye singles. Dylan Golstein smoked a Jack Liffrig pitch out to right-center for a three-run homer and Florida Atlantic had a 7-4 lead after three frames. The see-saw battle continued in the fourth. Boston Merila started it with a double down the left field line. Easton Bertrand then nailed a Tibur Rivero pitch out to right for his second homer of the night and Minnesota was within a run. The Owls would get those runs back when Tyler Kelder took Jack Liffrig deep for a two-run homer. Florida Atlantic regained a three-run lead after four innings of play. The Owls kept adding on in the fifth when Jalen DeBose led-off with a single to center. Armando Albert lined a triple to right to extend the Florida Atlantic led to four. The next batter, Gabriel Rincones turned on a Brandon Dauman pitch out to right for his second homer of the night and the Owls doubled up the Gophers 12-6. The Gophers would inch closer in the sixth. Boston Merila was hit in the arm by a pitch and Drew Stahl hit a relatively easy flyball to right that Tyler Kelder dropped. Merila scored on the error and Brett Bateman hit an RBI single to center to put the Gophers were within four. The Owls wouldn’t stop as Jackson Ross doubled with one out in the sixth. Jalen DeBose walked and Armando Albert singled to left to load up the bases. Gabriel Rincones hit a sac fly to center to give FAU a 13-8 lead. It went from bad to worse as Noah DeLuga walked two men in a row to plate another run. Steven Loden unloaded the bases with a double and the rout was on. Chase Stanke took Nicholas Del Prado deep to get the Gophers within eight runs in the seventh.

-Final Thoughts- George Klassen had some rust to knock off after missing last year with Tommy John surgery. He went 2/3 of an inning and allowed a run on two hits with a strikeout. Jack Liffrig had a rough outing. He went 2 2/3 innings and gave up eight runs on seven hits with a walk and five strikeouts. Brandon Dauman gave up three runs in 1 2/3 innings and struck out two. Noah DeLuga had a rough outing as he gave up five runs in 2/3 of an inning. Will Semb had 1 2/3 scoreless innings and Michael Gurka put up a zero in the eighth. Brett Bateman, Jack Kelly, and Easton Bertrand had two hits on the night. Bertrand hit two home runs and knocked in four runs. The Gophers will head to the Gulf Coast and stay there for a few days. They will play Florida Gulf Coast on Wednesday night.

-Chris Kreibich-

Verleihung der Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Awards in Berlin

Prickelnde Preisverleihung in Berlin

©Franziska Krug/Getty Images for Veuve Clicquot Auf einen solchen Abend muss frau einfach anstoßen. Mit Champagner natürlich! Am Donnerstagabend wurden in der Französischen Botschaft in Berlin die „Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Awards“ verliehen. Die Veranstaltung hat einen festen Platz im Terminkalender der VIP-Ladies aus Wirtschaft, Politik, Kultur und Society. Seit 1972 zeichnet das berühmte Champagnerhaus mit diesem Preis weltweit erfolgreiche Unternehmerinnen und Managerinnen für ihren Mut, ihre Risikobereitschaft und ihre herausragenden Leistungen aus. Auch in diesem Jahr. Trotz Corona Virus. Vorab waren die Gäste höflich darum gebeten worden, auf Händeschütteln zu verzichten, und zudem standen Desinfektionsmittel für die Gäste parat. Eine Preisverleihung also ohne Bussi Bussi, dafür mit umso mehr Powerfrauen! Hoch war die VIP-Dichte auch in diesem Jahr: Zu den Gästen der feierlichen Veranstaltung zählten Natalia Wörner, Dorothee Bär, Jasmin Tabatabai, Sara Nuru und Tamara von Nayhauß. Einige Neuerungen gab es in diesem Jahr: Die Veranstaltung wurde von „Veuve Clicquot Business Award“ in „Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award“ umbenannt. Und erstmals gab es auch zwei Preisträgerinnen anstatt wie in den Vorjahren nur eine. Dank der neuen Kategorie „Bold Future Award“: Eine Auszeichnung für eine Jungunternehmerin für ihren innovativen und visionären Unternehmersinn und ihr gesellschaftliches Engagement. Zudem wurde der Award traditionell an eine etablierte Unternehmerin vergeben, der „Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award“. Ohne Bussi Bussi, aber mit vielen Powerfrauen Hochkarätig besetzt war wie immer auch die neunköpfige Jury, der neben Westwing-Gründerin Delia Lachance u.a. auch Dorothee Bär, die Staatsministerin für Digitalisierung, angehörte Sie zeigte sich von der Veranstaltung begeistert: „Ich habe diese Veranstaltung schon im Vorjahr beobachtet. Es ist wunderbar, dass hier Frauen eine Sichtbarkeit bekommen“, lobte Dorothee Bär. „Und es ist großartig, dass auch sozial engagierte Start-ups eine Plattform erhalten.“ Sie ist eine Powerfrau durch und durch und für viele Frauen ein Vorbild. Ihr Tipp für alle Jungunternehmerinnen? „Alles was man tut mit Leidenschaft machen.“ Sie kam mit Verspätung, da sie vorher noch eine Laudatio bei den German Start-up Award gehalten hatte, und elegant - im langen Kleid: „Meine Mutter hat mir das Kleid besorgt da ich keine Zeit dazu hatte“, meinte sie schmunzelnd.

©Franziska Krug/Getty Images for Veuve Clicquot Preisträgerin in der Kategorie „Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award“ war in diesem Jahr Saskia Bruysten von „Yunus Social Business“: Ein Fonds, der weltweit junge Unternehmen im Aufbau und im Kampf gegen Armut unterstützt. Sie gründete ihn im Jahr 2011 mit Friedensnobelpreisträger Prof. Muhammad Yunus und Unternehmerin Sophie Eisenmann. „Yunus Social Business“ hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, Geschäftsmodelle und soziale Hilfsbereitschaft zu verbinden. Spendenmittel werden für die Finanzierung und Beratung nachhaltiger Sozialunternehmen in Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländern zur Armutsbekämpfung eingesetzt. Seit 2011 wurden insgesamt bereits über neun Millionen Menschen in Armut erreicht und 55.000 Arbeitsplätze unterstützt. 15 Millionen Euro wurden investiert und über 60 Sozialunternehmen und 1.800 Unternehmer finanziert. Inzwischen hat das Unternehmen rund 70 Mitarbeiter und Büros in Berlin sowie zahlreiche weltweite Niederlassungen. Stolz nahm Saskia Bruysten den Award entgegen: „Wow, das ist aber ein sehr schwerer Preis. Ich freue mich sehr darüber. Als ich vor zwölf Jahren im Bereich Social Business angefangen habe, war es noch schwierig, Soziales und Ökologisches mit Business zu verbinden und ein Kampf, die Menschen zu überzeugen. Dass ich diesen Preis heute bekomme beweist, dass Themen wie Social Business in der Gesellschaft angekommen sind. Wir haben uns heute wegen des Corona anders begrüßt als sonst. Es ist wichtig, aktiv zu werden, wenn man ein Problem erkannt hat. Ich wünsche mir aber, dass dies auch beim Klima der Fall ist.“ Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Awards 2020 Der erstmals vergebene „Bold Future Award“ ging an Antonia Albert aus Wien von „Careship“, die wegen Krankheit allerdings nicht persönlich dabei sein konnte. Den Preis hat sie sich zweifellos verdient: Sie bietet damit Senioren und ihren Angehörigen Informationen über Leistungsansprüche und bringt sie mit persönlichen Betreuern, Alltagshilfen und Pflegern zusammen. Entstanden ist das Unternehmen aus einer persönlichen Notlage: Sie gründete es mit ihrem Bruder Nikolaus Albert, nachdem ihre Großmutter unerwartet pflegebedürftig wurde und sie keine entsprechende Betreuung finden konnten. Die Online-Plattform bietet Senioren konkrete Hilfe im Alltag und hat zum Ziel, ihre Lebensqualität zu verbessern. Das Angebot reicht von der Unterstützung im Haushalt oder beim Einkaufen über Begleitdienste, z.B. zum Arzt, bis hin zur leichten Pflege. Die Plattform ist unter anderem in Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf und Frankfurt vertreten. In Kürze sollen München, Köln und weitere Städte folgen. Zu den Gästen im Publikum zählte Schauspielerin Natalia Wörner: „Ich bin immer wieder gerne hier und war auch schon Mitglied der Jury“, erzählte sie. „Es ist ein schöner und w��rdiger Preis und dank Madame Clicquot eine wunderbare Tradition“. Hat sie ein Frauenvorbild? Sie nickte: „Meine Urgroßmutter Elisabeth. Sie hat mich sehr geprägt und mir wichtige Eckpfeiler des Lebens mitgegeben. Eigenständigkeit zum Beispiel.“ „Das hier ist ein Award für starke Frauen“, lobte Schauspielerin Jasmin Tabatabai. „Und das finde ich gut. Ich hätte niemals gedacht, dass ich mich einmal für die Quote stark mache: gleiche Bezahlung, etc. Es ist wichtig, dass wir uns für die Gleichstellung weiterhin einsetzen.“ Saskia Bruysten und Antonia Albert sind die diesjährigen Preisträgerinnen! Zu den rund 150 Gästen, die von der französischen Botschafterin in Deutschland, Anne-Marie Descôtes, empfangen wurden, zählte auch Moderatorin Tamara Gräfin von Nayhauß: „Ich bin mit meinem eigenen Blog seit drei Jahren selbst Unternehmerin. Da muss man Entscheidungen treffen und Durchhaltevermögen zeigen. Ich treffe hier immer viele spannende Frauen, mit denen man sich austauschen kann,“ Weitere Nominierte waren für den „Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award“: Julia Bösch, die Gründerin von „Outfittery“, Europas größtem Personal-Shopping-Online-Portal für Männer, und Lea Lange von „Juniqe“, einem Onlinemarktplatz für bezahlbare Kunstprodukte. Für den „Bold Future Award“ waren außerdem nominiert: Varena Junge vom Hamburger Start-up „enyway“, das mit einem Online-Marktplatz den klassischen Strommarkt revolutioniert, und Johanna Schulz aus Berlin für ihr Unternehmen „Akvola Technologies“: Ein Wassertechnologie-Unternehmen, das kostengünstige und umweltfreundliche Lösungen konzipiert, um Schadstoffe aus ölhaltigen Industrieabwässern herauszufiltern. Für die Preisträgerinnen gab es als Trophäe eine silberne Magnumflasche La Grande Dame von Veuve Clicquot. Mit dem Award, der in Deutschland seit 1984 vergeben wird, werden Unternehmerinnen für ihren Mut, ihre Risikobereitschaft und ihre herausragenden Leistungen geehrt. Alles Attribute, die einst auch Basis für den unternehmerischen Erfolg von „Madame Clicquot“ waren, zu deren Ehren der Award einst ins Leben gerufen wurde: als junge alleinerziehende Witwe im Alter von nur 27 Jahren übernahm sie zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts nach dem überraschenden Tod ihres Mannes die unternehmerische Verantwortung für das Champagnerhaus – gegen den Willen ihres gesamten Umfelds - und führte das Unternehmen zum weltweiten Erfolg. Bis heute ist sie ein Vorbild für viele Frauen! Überreicht wurden die Awards von den Gastgeberinnen Nadine Fau (International Director Veuve Clicquot) und Petra Nagel (Managing Dirctor von Veuve Clicquot Deutschland). Sie freuten sich über den gelungenen Abend und die Frauenpower, für die die Gäste sorgten: „Es ist wunderbar, dass wir diesen festlichen Abend gemeinsam gestalten können“, so Petra Nagel. „Der Mut und die Kreativität der Nominierten sind beeindruckend. Eigentlich gibt es heute nur Gewinner.“ Auch einige Männer waren mit dabei: Mario Ohoven, der Ehemann von Ute Ohoven, sowie deren Sohn Markus Jerger. „Meine Frau ist in Kitzbühel“, erzählte Mario Ohoven. Was führte ihn zur Preisverleihung? „Ich habe schon mein Leben lang die Frauen verehrt“, meinte er schmunzelnd. Markus Jerger sorgte für weitere positive News an diesem Abend. Er und seine Partnerin Lencke, die ihn begleitete, freuen sich auf das erste gemeinsame Kind: „Das Baby kommt im Mai“, so die Eltern in spe. Zurück zum Award. Zur Jury zählten dieses Jahr Vorjahrespreisträgerin Verena Pausder, die Gründerin von „Fox & Sheep“, dem größten Entwickler für Kinder-Apps in Deutschland, Cawa Younosi (Personalchef bei SAP), CDU-Politikerin Diana Kinnert(Gründerin und GF der newsgreen GmbH), Karen Heumann (Mitgründer Agentur thjnk) und Susann Hoffmann (Mitbegründerin des Online Frauenmagazins Edition F), Horst von Buttlar (Chefredakteur Capital) und Marco Rodzynek (Gründer & CEO NOAH Advisors). Außerdem dabei: Moderatorin Tanja Bülter, Unternehmerin Judith Epstein, Veuve Clicquot PR-Lady Alexa Agnelli, Fashion-Experin Annette Weber, Moderatorin Aminata Belli, Sängerin Alexa Feser, die Designerinnen Nanna Kuckuck und Lana Mueller, Kunst-Expertin Mon Muellerschoen sowie Moderatorin Hadnet Tesfai, die durch den Abend führte.

Le Petit Pergolèse

Paris (XVIème)

par Patrick Faus

[/author_info] [/author]

[learn_more caption=’ ‘] : cuisine sans intérêt

: cuisine correcte

: cuisine intéressante

: cuisine enthousiasmante

: cuisine exceptionnelle[/learn_more]

Il n’y a qu’un Albert Corre, alors profitons-en !

Le Petit Pergolèse, c’est Albert Corre. Il est la vie du lieu, son centre gravitationnel, son âme, et la raison pour laquelle on aime y aller et y retourner. Un personnage hors normes et pourtant on aimerait en voir plus souvent dans un restaurant. Un homme aimable, souriant, amical, aux petits soins, exigeant avec lui et son équipe. On vient au Petit Pergolèse pour y trouver un style, une ambiance, de la bonne humeur, et pour découvrir une salle qui bruisse du plaisir de se régaler, car Albert Corre sait aussi faire de l’excellente cuisine. Ce n’est pas le moindre de ses charmes…

Son chef, Frédéric Lagrange, travaille avec lui on ne sait plus depuis quand. Complices absolus, se comprenant au quart de tour, ils proposent chaque jour, midi et soir, des plats de belle cuisine française, savoureux et généreux, évidents et sans complexes par rapport à des modes et à des tics qui agacent tout le monde ici, et surtout Albert Corre. C’est lui qui donne le ton, le tempo, le style de cette cuisine qu’il a travaillé toute sa vie et chez les plus grands.

Il commence très fort, à Orléans sa ville natale. Il rentre dans la brigade d’un deux étoiles Michelin, La Crémaillère, adore ce qu’il voit et ce qu’il fait, et voilà son destin tout tracé. Son but, son rêve, avoir un jour un restaurant à lui. En attendant, il va travailler à Paris chez Jacques Cagna, au Chiberta, chez Alain Senderens au Lucas Carton, puis, et c’est ce qui va le marquer à vie, avec Joël Robuchon, époque Jamin. Sa première place de chef sera chez Jacqueline Fénix à Neuilly, où il conservera l’étoile Michelin jusqu’à la fin des années 80.

En 1990, il achète enfin « son » restaurant : Le Pergolèse, dans le XVIème arrondissement, à quelques pas de la Porte Maillot. Il est chef et propriétaire. Cuisine gastronomique, une étoile Michelin, succès immédiat, et les premiers « people » qui arrivent. Il saura s’en occuper, les mettre à l’aise et les régaler. C’est aussi un talent. En 2005, fatigué mais heureux, il rachète son voisin Le Petit Bedon et vend le Pergolèse. Le Petit Pergolèse est né et en 2018 l’enfant se porte bien. Merci.

Un déjeuner récent l’illustre à la perfection. La salle est toujours décorée de plusieurs tableaux d’art moderne, l’autre passion d’Albert Corre, de photos avec ses amis les plus proches, Laurent Gerra, Charles Aznavour, et d’autres. Les fameuses banquettes rouges, la lumière du dehors adoucie, l’accueil impeccable de Thierry Majtka, complice de toujours. Un service aussi efficace qu’enjoué et voilà une table où l’on se sent bien.

Entrée, plat et dessert, trois options, et qui changent chaque jour. La carte est aussi riche qu’appétissante. Un petit bol de Risotto aux truffes (délicieux) en amuse-bouche pour se mettre en jambes,

et on attaque un Carpaccio d’artichauts, d’une belle fraicheur, coupé en très fines lamelles comme à la mandoline, quelques feuilles de salade, deux belles tranches fines de parmesan, et un trait d’huile d’olive légèrement truffée. Succulent.

Petit chef-d’œuvre et grand classique de la maison, à juste titre, l’unique Salade de homard, avec un demi-homard, s’il vous plait. Une superbe pièce, rehaussée sans trop l’envahir par une impeccable vinaigrette, bien parfumée. Cuisson parfaite du crustacé pour un plat généreux et succulent.

Beau Filet de Bar parfaitement saisi sur la peau, moelleux, goûteux, arrosé d’un trait de l’huile d’olive de Charles Aznavour, fabriquée aux Baux-de-Provence.

Délicate et parfumée, elle est la partenaire idéale du poisson. Accompagnement classique et sans risque d’une purée un peu compacte.

Les Goujonnettes de sole, enroulées comme dans « l’ancien monde », font parties d’un plat très construit et riche (trop ?) dont des carottes en ruban et des rondelles de courgettes. Généreux cependant, comme toujours chez Albert Corre.

Coup de force sur les desserts avec une Pavlova aux fruits rouges. Cette pâtisserie, créée pour une ballerine russe, est à base de meringue, croquante à l’extérieur, moelleuse à l’intérieur, recouverte de crème fouettée et de fruits rouges. Une réussite du chef, belle et savoureuse.

Il récidive avec le génial Soufflé au Grand Marnier considéré avec raison comme un des meilleurs de la capitale. Goûté et approuvé !

Choix de vins très pensé pour ne pas dépasser les limites du raisonnable et chercher le meilleur rapport qualité-prix dans les appellations. Vins au verre changeant régulièrement et toujours de bonne provenance.

Albert Corre dans ses œuvres, et ce sont de bonnes œuvres ! L’homme n’est pas un bon samaritain mais un homme généreux, attentif à plaire à ses clients et surtout il aime apporter du plaisir. Des plaisirs gourmands, simples mais efficaces avec une cuisine très soignée et particulièrement goûteuse. Des produits certes riches et d’excellente qualité qui montrent bien l’exigence de cet homme qui vaut la peine d’être connu. Il n’y a qu’un Albert Corre, alors profitons-en !

38, rue Pergolèse 75016 Paris Tél : 01 45 00 23 66 Réservation conseillée M° : Porte Maillot Voiturier Fermé samedi & dimanche Fermé en août

Menu déjeuner : 35 € (3 plats) Carte : 60 €, environ

The many twists and turns of Tennessee’s bananas coaching search, which ended with the Vols hiring Jeremy Pruitt after 25 days

Take a ride through the Vols’ roller coaster search.

I’m not sure how to really reconcile this, but Tennessee’s coaching search that was so wild for so long ended up coming to an end in the most normal way possible. Or, sort of. The Vols went and hired a Nick Saban assistant, in the form of Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt. Their 25-day hunt for a coach has ended.

Let’s take a walk down memory lane.

Our journey began on Nov. 12.

The inevitable finally happened, after months of fan calls like this one:

The fire Butch Jones sign made it to Monday Night Football. http://pic.twitter.com/kjAz09Drfl

— RockyTopTalk (@RockyTopTalk) October 17, 2017

That’s when Tennessee coach Butch Jones was mercifully fired by Tennessee. The end was ugly, with threats of a fan boycott among the more overt showings of discontent. Jones made his share PR faux pas and rarely won a game worth writing home about, but to his credit he did re-tool Tennessee’s roster and left it better than he found it.

That was not near enough to overcome a 34-17 record during his tenure, and a 50-17 loss to Missouri was the straw that officially broke the camel’s back. In Jones’ last game, Tennessee’s marching band played “Rocky Top” to celebrate a blocked extra point in the fourth quarter, while the Vols trailed 50-17.

Like always, Tennessee fans’ white whale was Jon Gruden.

From there, it was GRUMOR time. A near-decade long fever dream to bring Gruden to Knoxville kicked up into a whole new gear with reports of a $10 million offer to Gruden to unseat him from his Monday Night Football perch. There was also a Periscoped stake out of a Knoxville airport in which a Tennessee fan waited and hoped that Gruden would step off of a plane that 4,500 people watched at once.

The GRUMORS culminated with an erroneous report that the former Tampa Bay Bucs coach was dining across the street from Neyland Stadium on the night of a Vols game with Peyton Manning.

It wasn’t.

We’d like to take a moment to clear things up as well as apologize. We got excited- like everyone. Please read: http://pic.twitter.com/AIyVvmppKC

But don’t tell this guy who chased the athletic director (more on him shortly) through Neyland Stadium during a game that.

Look at his reaction to this. We got Gruden boys. http://pic.twitter.com/bOP563ESA3

By the end, Gruden thought the search was taking forever, just like we all did.

“Hopefully will be a matter of time,” Gruden said during a Dec. 4 Monday Night Football broadcast he was working. “It’s been a long while since they solved that.”

So many other coaches were linked to this job at one time or another.

Below is a non-chronological list of just about every coach I could find even tangentially linked to the Vols job once Jones was canned (bear in mind that all of this was happening while Brady Hoke was Tennessee’s interim head coach).

Greg Schiano (we’ll come back to him, too)

Now-Florida coach Dan Mullen (who actually seemed pretty plausible)

Jets defensive coordinator Kasey Rogers (ok?)

Georgia defensive coordinator Mel Tucker (at least he got a trip to New York out of it)

Washington coach Chris Petersen (not a cultural fit at all)

Purdue coach Jeff Brohm (aight, maybe)

Now-UCLA coach Chip Kelly (lol)

FAU coach Lane Kiffin (who viciously owned UT on social media throughout the whole process)

Tennessee legend and USC offensive coordinator Tee Martin (when mama calls, as they say)

Duke coach David Cutcliffe (who would rather see things out in Durham)

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy (whom the Vols made a run at in 2012)

Former LSU coach Les Miles (have a nice day)

Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele (he was bad at Baylor)

Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables (I just needed an excuse to share this email I got from some random person that wasn’t remotely true but, whatever, it’s funny.)

Kevin Sumlin (seemed much better off unemployed than in Knoxville anyway)

NC State coach Dave Doeren (decided he’d rather stay in Raleigh)

Mike Leach (almost happened, reportedly, but did not)

The Rock, a Tennessee icon where students can write messages, became a hub for pro-Lane Kiffin messaging.

Vols fans had come a long way from this a few years earlier:

UT fans now begging Lane Kiffin to take the HC job... here was "The Rock" on campus when he left... Consistant bunch, ain't they... http://pic.twitter.com/q7ej9EHMvP

(Kiffin would’ve been a defensible hire, though an odd one given his UT past.)

The Rock was a popular spot throughout the search, actually.

Some other points made on it:

Schiano’s failed courting signaled the truly rarified air that this search was operating in.

Plenty of schools get turned down for their first choice and their second and their third. Plenty of schools get tantalizingly close to getting their man only to have things fall apart. Plenty of schools have fans unhappy with the new coach. Plenty of schools have people within the athletic department choosing sides during the search.

But what happened at Tennessee was on a different level.

First, there’s Greg Schiano. Schiano wasn’t just close to being Tennessee’s head coach. He’d signed a memorandum of understanding, arguably making him the coach.

That’s before a social media firestorm and public protest outside of school facilities forced Tennessee to go back on the deal to save face with its fanbase:

Former players:

I’m just going to say this if we hire Greg Schiano as our next head coach my options will be open to which college program I will Be donating my TIME and MONEY to. (No disrespect to GS) but if UT leaders don’t take football serious then I will find the program that will!!!

And state politicians:

I have reached out to @John_Currie and others in administration at UT expressing that WE as a TN Community do not approve of Schiano. #higherstandards

— Rep. Jason Zachary (@JasonZacharyTN) November 26, 2017

Tennessee did not save face.

This was the start of a bad week for athletic director John Currie.

There were multiple sporting events in which dozens, if not hundreds, of people chanted for him to be fired. (It might’ve been even more than that. Who knows?)

Days later, Currie was pretty close to hiring Mike Leach ... until he wasn’t.

Sources: John Currie was prepared to hire Mike Leach but university officials wouldn’t allow him to do so. Phillip Fulmer has been sabotaging search process in hopes to become Tennessee’s AD

— Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) December 1, 2017

Currie’s failure to hire Leach was at least his third bungled hire in the last year. Add it to Schiano and the time Currie, at K-State, tried to hire respected defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt as coach-in-waiting behind Bill Snyder. The legendary Snyder reportedly nixed that hire because he preferred his son, Sean, to succeed him.

Professional wrestler Kane offered Currie one obvious solution.

This is him:

Good friend who works with @CoachLesMiles just told me that Les is extremely interested in UT position. He'd look great in Orange. #CallLes

— Glenn Jacobs (@GlennJacobsTN) November 30, 2017

Kane is is also a candidate for Knox County mayor. He’s one of a handful of elected officials and political candidates to have weighed in while the search was ongoing.

Former coach Phillip Fulmer took Currie’s job after reported sabotage.

Following Currie’s attempted Leach hire, the Vols did fire their AD. They replaced him with former coach Phillip Fulmer, which was interesting for two reasons:

1. Fulmer was a reported candidate for the job last winter, before Tennessee decided to hire Kansas State AD (and former Tennessee administrator) Currie to the job.

2. Fulmer staged a kind of palace coup to get Currie out:

Tennessee is on the hook for a combined $13 million-plus in buyout money to Jones and Currie, the AD who fired the coach and was supposed to replace him. Tennessee reportedly wants to fire Currie with cause and save on its $5.5 million buyout to him, but we’ll see how that goes. That’s on top of any potential dollars Tennessee might owe Schiano for backing out of his deal, plus a bunch of logistical costs.

To Fulmer’s credit, once he took control, things were fairly normal.

The Vols got some candidates, vetted them and interviewed them in a fairly timely and low-key manner. No fireworks, just a normal hiring process. Fulmer took the helm on Dec. 2, and Tennessee announced the Pruitt hire on Dec. 7.

This now ends one of two ways. Either Pruitt leads the Vols to the promised land, and Fulmer & Co. have the last laugh, or he’s unable to engineer success and we’ve got another Tennessee coaching search on our hands in a few years.

Relatively speaking, even hiring a Saban assistant was made weird.

For one thing, Pruitt did not know what asparagus was until 2005. We know this because Pruitt was an assistant at Hoover (Ala.) then, when the school was featured on MTV’s Two-A-Days. Pruitt clearly had no clue what this vegetable was at the time.

Also, there’s this point about Fulmer and Alabama:

Who would have ever thought that Phillip Fulmer, who reveled in beating Alabama and is despised by Alabama fans to this day, would turn to an Alabama native, Alabama grad and Alabama assistant coach to lead the Vols' program? Not sure this search could have a more fitting ending.

— Chris Low (@ClowESPN) December 7, 2017

Still, Pruitt’s the fourth Saban assistant with a current SEC head job.

He joins Kirby Smart at Georgia, Will Muschamp at South Carolina, and Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M. Hiring ex-Saban hands is something teams do.

It wasn’t supposed to end like this. Things were supposed to continue to hit the fan, and athletic director Phillip Fulmer was supposed to pull some wild rabbit out of a hat. But perhaps Tennessee just exhausted itself on all the wildness of the last month.

These nine FBS teams that completed an entire coaching change cycle between Tennessee’s official Jones firing and Pruitt hiring:

Arizona State (Todd Graham out, Herm Edwards in)

Arkansas (Bret Bielema out, Chad Morris in. And the Hogs carried out an entire athletic director search in this span, with an interim AD handling most of the Morris hiring process, despite having their own wild booster culture.)

Florida State (Jimbo Fisher out, Willie Taggart in)

Mississippi State (Dan Mullen out, Joe Moorhead in)

Nebraska (Mike Riley out, Scott Frost in)

Rice (David Baliff out, Mike Bloomgren in)

Texas A&M (Kevin Sumlin out, Jimbo Fisher in)

UCF (Scott Frost out, Josh Heupel in)

UCLA (Jim Mora out, Chip Kelly in)

UTEP parted with its coach on Oct. 1 and still doesn’t have a replacement, so Tennessee isn’t all the way at the bottom here.

Still, the Vols’ search was approximately 100 in coaching search years.
