Let the jokes begin, but Air France is quite serious about their latest venture. Beginning this morning and continuing through Monday, the French airline will be showing off its haute cuisine in the Air France Gourmet Food Truck, offering a different kind of traveling food vehicle. The company is highlighting the cross-Atlantic menu created by internationally renowned chef Joël Robuchon, longtime costar of the French television show Bon appétit bien sûr with Guy Job and the culinary expert behind L’Atelier in the Four Seasons hotel. The truck will be moving around the city over the course of the next five days, serving “special complimentary menu creations” for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, beginning today at Broadway between 41st & 42nd Sts., then taxiing to Fifth Ave. between 49th & 50th Sts. on Friday, Park Ave. & 15th St. on Saturday, Prince St. & Broadway on Sunday, and Wall St. between William & Hanover Sts. on Monday. We’re not so sure that food is the ultimate decider about what airline you fly, but free food is free food, and as far as we can tell, there will be no body scanning involved.
