Fresh and Healthy Food

Today, in 1971, restaurateur and local fresh food activist Alice Waters opened California’s Iconic Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, California.

Waters never intended to be a chef or to start a revolution. She just wanted to open a nice little restaurant that served fresh, good-tasting food.
When the restaurant opened on this night in 1971, Alice Waters personally greeted her customers at the door.
