Join culinary legends Chefs Thomas Keller and Alice Waters for a conversation about cuisine, community, and culture, celebrating the Netflix series Chef’s Table: Legends.
Thomas Keller has built a collection of restaurants that have set new standards in the hospitality profession. As the first American-born chef to receive multiple three-star ratings from the Michelin Guide for The French Laundry and Per Se and one star for The Surf Club Restaurant, he is the most recognized American chef by Michelin. In 2011, he was designated a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor, the first American male chef to be so honored. He is the author of six cookbooks, including The French Laundry Cookbook, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.
Alice Waters is the visionary chef and owner of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California. She is the author of four cookbooks, including Chez Panisse Vegetables and Fanny at Chez Panisse. In 1994 she founded the Edible schoolyard at Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School, a model curriculum that integrates organic gardening into academic classes and into the life of the school.
Phil Rosenthal is the creator of the PBS documentary series “I’ll Have What Phil’s Having” and Netflix’s “Somebody Feed Phil.” His non-profit, Somebody Feed the People, partners with organizations that address food access and insecurity, support chefs and restaurant workers, create employment pathways, and strengthen our food systems.
This program is a benefit for the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank, an organization that addresses hunger through a food pantry network and home-delivered groceries to CalFresh (food stamp) enrollment. Every week over 53,000 households count on them for food assistance.
