The Paris Review's blog recently ran a piece on the menu tradition at Alice Waters' Berkeley restaurant Chez Panisse, where local designers are asked to produce illustrations for their menu covers. Seeing the range designer Patricia Curtan posted made me go looking for my own, which I've held onto, lo all these many years.

I love how the raspberry leaf breaks the frame, and the delicate little hairs on the stem.
Those torpedo onion pancakes have stayed with me. One day I'll go back!
That's so lovely! I always walk past it whenever I'm in Berkeley but have never been in. Must get there! Wasn't she going to run a restaurant in the Louvre?
