| | VIA Online: Berkeley's Chez Panisse Restaurant |
 | | Thirty years ago, when Chez Panisse served its first dinner (pâté en croûte, duck with olives, salad, prune tart) at long tables, family style, there were few indications that the funky restaurant would turn the culinary establishment on its ear. |
 | | Chez Panisse served curly, crunchy, sweet baby greens, plucked from the ground in the morning, delivered to the restaurant by noon, washed, tossed, and promptly put in front of a customer. |
 | | Waters is no longer at the stove, but Chez Panisse is still very much her restaurant, and when she travels, she returns with new ideas, from homemade mozzarella to organic tortillas. |
