alice waters could not be a man. she had to be a woman. [laughter] most deept in the respect to her. i believe we need to be putting more women at the very top of the decisions to improve the world in the years to come. i have never seen more soft-spoken leaders making things happen in one community at a time in kenya, haiti, in puerto rico, by not just imposing their power on the big boys, but using smart, gentle solutions that everyone can rally around. like alice. she never called her project, alice waters farm. she doesn't put her face on any of her books. i feel ashamed of my first one, my face was on the cover. [laughter] she's not trying to say me, me, me, forget you. what she did over all these that,was the big belief she was almost like the shepherd behind the sheep and the lamb. just making sure that they keep moving forward, to the water places, to the food places. she is in the back. you almost don't notice her. somehow it gives getting bigger and bigger and more people keep joining her dream. that makes it our dream. that is t

and we had gotten to know alice waters.itting around in our apartment, and jeremiah was there and saying, "i'm going to go to hawaii and maybe i'm going to go cut vines in the napa valley, do something." and i said, "you know, what you're really good at is cooking. why don't you just call alice? we know she's looking for someone to work with. just go over there." >> andrew: one of the things i think is really important to think about when talking about the '70s and '80s in this country is how very disconnected, uh, what was happening in american restaurants was. a lot of the newspapers around the country did not have food sections. people were by and large very unaware of who the chefs were. there was no internet. there were not even fax machines at the beginning of this story. so, a lot of what happened in individual cities and individual areas was very self contained. and then, in the bay area, up in berkeley, was this little restaurant called chez panisse that opened in 1971. it had a bumpy road at the beginning, but ove
