Quelle Bouffe?

You choose...do you want to eat at La Grande Bouffe or at La Petite Bouffe?  Actually, you can't do either, since they're not there anymore. Just the sign.  However, you can still probably rent the 1973 French film La Grande Bouffe, in which a group of friends gather together with the sole purpose of eating themselves to death. Eating French food wouldn't be a bad way to go, if you had to.
