Cuisine Californian

For Californian cuisine, Chez Panisse has been the mother of invention for over 40 years now. The culinary icon, opened by Chef/owner Alice Waters in 1971, launched a cuisine as well as the careers of many top Bay Area chefs. The jewel of Berkeley's gourmet ghetto is shiny as she ever was: mature vines cover her wooden façade and patio, while antiqued mirrors and copper accents lend her interior a golden hue.Chez Panisse is still packed to the hilt with locals and a few tourists eager to devour dishes made with organic produce fresh from local farms. Curious eaters may spy at the open kitchen for a view of the nightly fare, which might include a wonderful asparagus salad with roast pork or tea-smoked Sonoma duckling with morels and spring vegetables.
