Health

People keep adding things about how bistro food is healthy. The current section is called "bistro eating". Has any one heard of this term? Does it really belong I enjoy bistro food very much, but I don't think the fare finds in one could be considered "healthy eating" under current dietetic guidlines; look at the quintessential dish, steak frites--red meat and deep fried starch.

I have added citation tags to the health claims, but perhaps they should be removed? If there is a legitimate food trend called "bistro eating" that is sourceable and verifiable, this section should either be expanded or given its on article.

This section was completely POV, there are many many many non-healthy bistro dishes. This POV concept has mostly come from its usage in commercial product sales and chain menus, not in terms of traditional bistro fare. In addition, if the information is added back, it needs citation from a reliable source, otherwise I will remove it again. Steak frites btw, is a brasserie dish more than it is a bistro dish.--Christopher Tanner, CCC 01:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

I removed all the bits about the restaurant (not so creatively named "Bistro") and merged the bits concerning the origin of the word "Bistro". I removed the NPOV tag as I believe that those bits have been purged. Please amend this entry if you feel otherwise. RobLinwood 00:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to offer that the Russian word, "bistro" and the French word, "bistro" have the same pronounciation. (The only difference being that Russians stress the last syllable as is common in Slavic idioms.) It would be truly remarkable if this word was not of Russian origin and I find the doubtful tone of its's etymology in theis article weak. Does anyone doubt if the English word, "no" comes from the Latin/Norman word, "no?" It is the same word.

Could we amend this weak passage? Thanks, Dynamisto

The arg. band bistro should maybe be on it's own page?
