  • S Gourmet Ghetto Food Tour
    Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto Food Tour (Update Note: Unfortunately, the wonderful Cafe de la Paz restaurant has closed, due to the economic challenges of our time.) Berkeley’s famous Gourmet Ghetto on North Shattuck, near where I live, continues to evolve in pleasing ways for a consumer who likes to travel and enjoy food. The roots of this food phenomenon go back to the 1960s-70s, when three neighborhood icons started a food revolution with longterm visions that reverberate in the American food scene. Alice Waters founded her famous restaurant, Chez Panisse. The Cheese Board Collective began its passionate presentation of worldwide and local California artisan cheeses. And Peet’s coffee started educating Americans about the complex pleasures of coffee drinking. Today those icons still flourish, but many newer players enliven the scene with their specialized passions for food. Moreover, on Thursdays, the ultimate Farmer’s Market occurs here, with a full all-organic assumption, and with robust offerings of everything one would expect, plus fish and meat from local producers. However, best of all, there is now a sophisticated tour available to the public each Thursday afternoon, offered by a knowledgeable food enthusiast, Lisa Rogovin, and her Epicurean Concierge company. Lisa guides up to 10 travelers each Thursday afternoons 2-5 pm on a 14-stop tasting parade, during which you meet all the entrepreneurs who make this pageant of tastes possible. The tours are $60, with reservations at 415-806-5970 and [email protected]. No one goes away hungry. I met Lisa for my tour at Russell Bass’s fine restaurant, Café de la Paz, a fixture in the neighborhood, with its Latin/South American flair.

  • Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto Today
    Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto Today By Lee Foster (Author’s Note: This article on my neighborhood, Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto, has appeared in the new book from the Bay Area Travel Writers, titled Taste of Travel. See the PDF of my section in the book and an image of the cover. A PDF of the entire book is free, disregard the requirement to buy the printed book, which is not correct.) Alice Waters remains a presiding spirit over Berkeley’s celebrated Gourmet Ghetto, where I happen to live. But there are newcomers also who enliven the scene. Here are my recommended stops if you want to immerse yourself in this remarkable stretch of six blocks on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley, California, from roughly the BART Station downtown to Rose Street as the northern terminus. I start this walk near the north end. -1. Alice Waters’ Chez Panisse restaurant (1517 Shattuck, www.chezpanisse.com, 510-548-5525) is in and will remain in a stratosphere all its own. Author Lee Foster gives Alice Waters a copy of his legacy organic gardening book from Chronicle Books, Backyard Farming, at The Ecology Center (Orange County) Green Feast fundraising event. Alice began the restaurant in 1971. The vision behind her restaurant has been immensely influential. I expect a TV evening news report tomorrow that Alice is somewhere extolling the virtues of kohlrabi as a vegetable. She and Michelle Obama hit it off during the Obama administration, promoting better nutrition from the White House Food Garden. At a recent charity event, I gave Alice, for reasons of nostalgia, a copy of my 1983 book on the organic gardening revolution.
