Maybe your mother or dad is a Francophile, stealing away to Paris for vacations. Or at least that's what they did before tuition bills started rolling in. The cassoulet, the escargots, and the steak frites will wow them. And no one can resist the profiterole for dessert. When the waiter pours chocolate from a little pitcher tableside, you can hear sighs around the room.
Every parents weekend has to have a show-stopping celebrity moment.
Blue Ginger could be yours. His restaurant, casual yet stylish, is closest to Wellesley College, Boston College, and Bentley, but a rental car and a map will get you and the folks there even if you go to Tufts. Call for reservations way early, and inquire as to whether the master will be in the house on the night in question. Weekends are the best bets for a sighting. You want your parents to understand your life.
