Chez Panisse is also 40Smith-Madrone had the honor of participating in an historic event with Chez Panisse for its 40th anniversary. The National Portrait Gallery unveiled a portrait of Alice Waters now headed east to be housed at The Smithsonian. To celebrate, there was a benefit evening at The Berkeley Art Museum on Friday, August 26. The proceeds benefit Alice Waters’ foundation, The Edible Schoolyard.
