Tonight on Extension 720: Walter Savage Landor wrote: “A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.” Tonight on Extension 720, we celebrate the art of cooking and the life of Julia Child. A frequent guest on our program, she always delighted with her sparkling personality and infectious love of food. Our panel of culinary experts will explore the joy of gourmandize, as well as recall their favorite memories of “The French Chef.” Our guests are MARY ABBOTT HESS, former chairman of the National Board of the American Institute of Wine and Food and an acclaimed food writer, BILL REYNOLDS, provost of the Washburn Culinary Institute of the City Colleges of Chicago, and RICK TRAMANTO, executive chef at TRU, which was picked as restaurant of the year by Chicago Magazine.
