Alice Waters Opens Chez Panisse in Berkeley
ESTIMATED75% CONFIDENCEWikipedia[1] gives the year only - Waters "opened Chez Panisse in 1971 with the film producer Paul Aratow" - so the pin sits on that year's last day.
Alice Waters opened Chez Panisse in 1971 with the film producer Paul Aratow, in a house on Shattuck Avenue, and in doing so more or less founded what came to be called California cuisine: a short menu set by what the farms around the bay had that week rather than by a fixed carte. The block it stands on is now known as the Gourmet Ghetto.
