Alice Waters and Tanya Holland
Alice Waters, owner of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, CA, sparked the movement to local, organic, sustainably sourced, “Slow Food” nearly 50 years ago. Today, she continues her work to bring these ideals to the public school system, advocating for a free nutritious and delicious school lunch sourced directly from local regenerative farmers. She fosters a collaborative spirit in the kitchen, that we will experience as we enjoy our meal together.
Tanya Holland, owner of Brown Sugar Kitchen in Oakland, CA, will explore and pay tribute to the delicious, restorative foods of the African diaspora and the African American experience. Her dishes are infused with the concentric layers of flavors from the African American South and North Africa with a fresh take via farm-to-table philosophy and contemporary technique.
