Foodies who used to line up for hours when the fab Made in France/Village Imports would occasionally open its gourmet warehouse to the public, will rejoice at the news:
The former owners have opened a retail store, the Gourmet Corner, 873 N. San Mateo Drive in San Mateo (three blocks south of the Burlingame train station), which is open daily, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The duck confit, rich pates, cheeses galore, and European-style yogurts you couldn’t wait to get your hands on before are now conveniently available all the time. For more information, call (650) 340-6370.
Bon appetit!
