CHANGING TASTES:
Menus of the Palace Hotel and Chez-Panisse
November 2 – December 29, 2002
Shenson Gallery at CHS
Changing Tastes examines a unique selection of special occasion
menus from two of the Bay Area’s most influential restaurants,
the Palace Hotel of the late 19th century, and the restaurant Chez
Panisse of the late 20th century. When juxtaposed, these two sets
of menus tell an intriguing story of how fine dining in California
has changed over the last century.
Changing Tastes is curated by Joe Evans, cook
at the restaurant Chez Panisse and CHS Library Assistant.
*All menus are from
the collections of the North Baker Research Library of the California
Historical Society or The Bancroft Library, University of California,
Berkeley.
