In a couple weeks I am going to intern at Chez Panisse, one of the most influential Restaurants on the west coast. In the college town of Berkeley California, on shattock avenue sits this 2 story restaurant, that was transformed from a house. Alice Waters, the owner of the restaurant opened it in the 70's with the help of a lot of her friends, she was successful. With no formal experience working in any kitchens there were definitely some bumps in the road, but with her travels to europe, and passion for fresh local food, she started a food revolution.

Since then, there has been many restaurants that have followed in chez panisse's footsteps. I hear it mentioned in so many books, always talking about Alice as a front runner in the food revolution.
I ate at Chez in high school 2010, I vividly remember walking through the kitchen, seeing the walk in refrigerator and meat cooler, It was really amazing. The food was amazing, but what is so cool is that I told myself I wanted to work there someday, and now here in 2 weeks I am going to be.
