Alice's Restaurant
This just got emailed to me from one of the local Slow Food convivium leaders.
American Masters is the cultural biography series for PBS. For the first time in American Masters 17 year history, they will feature a chef. The film celebrates Alice Waters' influential work at Chez Panisse Restaurant and her commitment to sustainable, small-scale agriculture.
Along with Alice, the film includes interviews with Ruth Reichl, Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser and others including Edible Schoolyard teachers Esther Cook and Amanda Rieux.
The film will air in the first two weeks of March as a PBS pledge show. The show will be broadcast nationally and uninterrupted on March 19th at 9pm. Please check your local listings.
