Alice Waters is a renowned person in the San Francisco Bay Area. Worldwide, really. She is the owner of Chez Panisse and Cafe Fanny; the names of which refer to a delightful French film of the 1960s entitled Fanny! She began the Edible Schoolyard at the MLK Middle School in Berkeley and is the VP of the International Slow Food movement. She has also written a number of cookbooks and embraces fresh seasonal ingredients that are to be used sustainably.
Google published her favorite places some time ago and the SF Gate notes San Francisco favorites: the Farmers Market down at the Ferry Building on Saturdays, Davies Symphony Hall to hear Michael Tilson Thomas and Omnivore Books.
See also: Castro Theatre, Foreign Cinema, Bi-Rite Creamery, Tartine, Blue Bottle Cafe, Zuni, and Greens Restaurant. Yum.
