Beef Bourguignon
In this episode of Fishwives of Paris, Emily and Caroline unpack the biggest myths surrounding the history of boeuf bourguignon, the famous French beef stew so often treated as sacred Burgundy cuisine. From the misconception that it must be made with expensive Burgundy wine to the assumption that the dish itself originated in Burgundy, they explain how “à la bourguignonne” is really a broad culinary term for preparations involving red wine or a parsley-garlic base, and why home cooks across France have always used whatever decent, affordable wine they had on hand. Along the way, they trace how this so-called regional classic became a Parisian staple, revealing how marketing, restaurant culture, and modern food media helped turn a practical, everyday stew into a symbol of French culinary tradition.
