ESTIMATED73% CONFIDENCE3/3The source[1] gives the year but no day - "Sally Schmitt opened The French Laundry in 1978 and designed her menus around local, seasonal ingredients" - so the pin sits on that year's last day, as a year-only date does.
Sally Schmitt opened the restaurant in a stone building in Napa Valley in 1978 and built her menus around local, seasonal produce. Thomas Keller bought it in 1994 and it now holds three Michelin stars.
