THE GOAL

On August 28, 1971, Chez Panisse opened its doors in Berkeley, California. The restaurant merged fine dining with high-quality, locally and seasonally sourced food. Over the past half-century, Chez Panisse has inspired countless restaurants, chefs and home cooks, forging a movement of simple food made with local ingredients. This special documentary explores the history and lasting effects of Chez Panisse and Alice Waters.

Alice Waters, founder of Chez Panisse, sits at a round table in front of a brick fireplace with a visible fire burning inside. She is smiling, wearing a dark blouse and scarf, and holding a glass. A bowl of fresh lemons with leaves rests on the table beside her. Text on the image reads: “Alice Waters, Founder, Chez Panisse.”
