And around here, some plants are marketed by mentioning that they're featured in her restaurant's menus. I saw a Green Zebra tomato blurb that said something like, "a favorite at Chez Panisse for its stunning stripes of yellow and green [and taste]."

Yes, but I believe she prodded growers in the area to start producing loads of various organic fruits and vegetables for her restaurant. Doesn't seem like a big deal today but in the 70s it was unheard of.

I know it. I love Antony John. He tends to row crop with tractors though

still, I watch him every time I can catch him.

Alice is a bit too froo froo for many people to take notice - that is
until
she started the edible school yard. There is an interview with her in the
current edition of the herb companion and they asked her what she had in
her
garden. Disappointingly she only has a small patch of herbs though a
friend
of hers uses the plot to grow greens. She's certainly not going to win me
over like that. Her school program is fantabulous however, so I'll give
credit where it's due.

Don't keep me from my boys though - I DVR Jamie every saturday morning and
Antony and I are midnight friends (why do they air him so late?) Maybe I
should DVR him to and save the trouble of staying up.

Jamie's not the only chef pushing fresh and local. The Manic Organic in
Canada is another, the "man out-standing in his field" ;-)
