Halibut

Berkeley, April 15, 2009—

LUNCH IN THE CAFÉ at Chez Panisse today. I'm biassed, of course; we've been associated with the restaurant for nearly forty years. But I do think it is extraordinary. The materiel is optimal; the treatment is careful and caring; the service personable and competent. I could happily eat there every day.
