""So deeply embedded is the mythology of Chez Panisse in the DNA of local food culture that it threatens to smother stylistic diversity and extinguish the creativity that it originally sought to spark," he writes in "To the Moon, Alice? Patterson, chef-own..."

"After sampling heirloom tomatoes for a month in various restaurants throughout the city, I hesitated to order them but then realized that this is the one place I should. My plate arrived filled with gorgeous, thinly sliced tomatoes, dressed simply in a li..."

"California cuisine is so much a product of Alice Waters's genius that all other restaurants following in her wake should be dated A. Most of the produce and meat comes from local farms and is organically produced, and after all these years, Alice still te..."

"But after more than 35 years of business in what has become Berkeley's gourmet ghetto, Alice Waters' internationally acclaimed, groundbreaking restaurant is still a hard reservation to secure. Waters' passion for procuring only the finest and freshest raw..."

"Alice still writes the daily menu and works in the kitchen every day when she is town. Her spirit infuses dishes like wild mushroom toasts with DeeAnn's garden lettuces, potato gnocchi with wilted escarole and spit-roasted Hoffman Farm chicken with fried..."
