We interrupt these Parisian posts for a glass of water

A month ago I mentioned that we will be serving a choice of sparkling or still filtered tap water at my future restaurant, Olallie.

On Saturday, the Wall Street Journal published a thorough article on the topic that I thought might be of interest to my readers. Surprisingly, the article, "Latest Gourmet Offering: Tap Water,"  is currently offered free to non-subscribers.

Thanks for the article.

When I was in NY City the waiter would ask-- bottled water or New York's finest? I loved that.

I've heard of some restaurants ONLY offering bottled water. It caused quite a broohaha here. As you mentioned, its such a huge revenue stream...

I'll always defer to tap water even if unfiltered. But I know plenty of people who'll shell out for the bottled variety. Maybe you should have some bottled water in reserve for those guests.
