From Academic Kids
Chez Panisse is a famous restaurant, located in Berkeley, California. It was founded in 1971 by Alice Waters, as the first California cuisine restaurant, a style she is credited with inventing.
The restaurant originally consisted of a single main dining floor serving a daily fixed price menu. In 1980, an upstairs café area was added, serving a cheaper a la carte style menu.
Famous diners include the Dalai Lama and President Bill Clinton.
Alice Waters is involved with Slow Food and the local food movement.
