I've read a fair bit about Waters' career and agree that she's probably one of the most influential chefs and voices in creating modern American cooking.mdmnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191436711956580423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37913725.post-25013738112923494932009-03-05T11:30:00.000-07:002009-03-05T11:30:00.000-07:00OMG...Chez Panisse, Berkeley, Tomales Bay, Point R...OMG...<BR/><BR/>Chez Panisse, Berkeley, Tomales Bay, Point Reyes...
