Fren chy's Tap rises as haute spot in Peoria catfish country

In a plain Peoria tavern, Frenchys Tap offers Escargot and Coq au Vin alongside draft beer. Proprietor Henri Frenchy DuCamp, 57, renovated the back room with a faux Eiffel Tower as locals flock for his haute cuisine rather than ambience.

Marriage Licenses and Restaurant Tales at Frenchy's Tap

The notice lists several marriage licenses involving Lawrence residents and others, interspersed with a colorful profile of Frenchy and his Peoria restaurant Frenchy's Tap. It covers his background from Nice to Hollywood and Galesburg, his sign reading Zee Best Food in Zee World, and his stance on authenticity versus fast money while patrons enjoy cuisine like escargot and beef bourguignon.
