Provence in Berkeley September 29, 2007

From Kermit's September newsletter....

Having had the luck on a regular basis to enjoy the
great Provencal home cooking of Lulu Peyraud, Ma-
guey Brunier, and Richard Olney, I do my best to
produce our Provence Day event in a manner that would make
them feel right at home.

You think I’m name dropping? That’s nothing. Hell, I once
shook hands with Richard Nixon, whose regime seems to be
reborn and poisoning our lives once again. “I am not a crook.”
“I don’t not speak English good.” “Spreading democracy”
while we run out of it at home?

Back to Provence, please!

Okay, how about some southern comfort with Mediterra-
nean origins? We close our handy parking lot to motor vehicles,
arrange tents and tables under the olive trees, peel some garlic,
fire up the coals, and uncork a medley of appropriate wines
from . . . southern France. Sound good? And why not add some
low-volume music played by living human beings, too?
The event is presented by Café Fanny and our chef is Christopher Lee from Eccolo Restaurant down on Fourth Street.

The price will be ridiculously fair, as usual.

Come one, come all,
help us live it up à la Provencale!
saturday, september 29, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
