Alice's restaurant

摘要

ALICE WATERS OWNS only one restaurant and a cafe, unlike star chef Mario Batali, with his seven. She doesn't have a cooking show on TV, like Bobby Flay. She hasn't created an eponymous line of cookware, like the hyperkinetic Emeril Lagasse. Yet Waters is a legend at the top of the food chain. Her famous base is Chez Panisse in Berkeley, Calif., where she has championed locally grown organic food and incorporated it into menus aimed squarely at the American palate. Her innovations over nearly four decades have affected not only the restaurant business but the meals Americans crave. Witness Wal-Mart's new push into organic food.
