Mastering the art of French cooking, the sequel
Chef Mavro will be serving a special three-course “Julie & Julia Movie Menu” ($59) available Fridays and Saturdays only, August 7–29. “After the screening of the movie, so many people were craving boeuf bourguignon that something had to be done! I’ve felt a connection with Julia Child ever since I developed a love of home cooking for my wife when I come back from the restaurant every night,” says the chef. The Movie Menu will include, in addition to the three courses: pre-appetizer, pre-dessert and the house-made sweets. Julia Child’s famous reverse martini ($9) will be offered as well as a special Morgan grand cru du beaujolais wine selection ($13 glass). Advance reservations are required as seating for the after-movie menu will be limited. Call 944-4714 or email [email: chef].
Bad news from the tomato patch
Jeanne Vana, heirloom tomato farmer, was hit hard last month just prior to the State Farm Fair. She lost her entire crop to thieves. Dealing with bad weather, year-round pests and the high cost of land makes Oahu farming hard enough. Agricultural theft is beyond the pale and has been the final straw for some island farmers.
