Chez Panisse is owned by Alice Waters. Alice Waters became famous in the 1970’s and was credited for creating a culinary revolution in the United States. She’s an advocate of fresh and locally grown ingredients in her restaurants. She also believes to eat what’s in season because the mass shipping of food is harmful to the environment. When you first walk into Chez Panisse there are two dining rooms, one for lunch and one for dinner. During lunch there is a very elegant but laid back feel in the restaurant. My favorite dish was the Hand-cut pasta topped with Keller Ranch veal ragù and peas. This dish was unique with the hand-cut noodles but also tasted extraordinary. Alice Waters also owns Café Fanny in West Berkeley, California which serves breakfast and lunch daily.
