******JULIA!!! SATURDAY, AUGUST 11th ******
A NATIONWIDE CELEBRATION OF JULIA CHILD’S 100TH BIRTHDAY: We are honored to be a part of this event since Julia was a dear friend and spent many a weekend in our “Foster” guest room, plus celebrating a few of her Birthdays with us. She would hang out in the kitchen and “assist”. We did an epic booksigning for which we were totally unprepared for the onslaught of fans. Plus, we hosted, with Guy Savoy ,(who flew in from Paris) before he was a 3-Star chef in Paris (and 2Michelin Stars in Vegas) a guest chef dinner with Guy, Nitzi, & Julia as “Guest of Honor”. We will replicate that dinner, including many of her favorite dishes, on this evening, and will have our collage of photos and correspondence on display. The wines will be a selection of French & American (California) suiting her taste. This promises to be an evening of GREAT fun & reminiscence…celebrated at select restaurants across the country.
