Sunday was Julia Child’s 100th birthday, and to mark the occasion, her longtime publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, is celebrating Julia Child Restaurant Week, featuring events at over 100 top restaurants around the country which identify with her legacy of making classic French cooking accessible to everyone. We decided to mark the occasion by talking with one of the French chefs in America who knew Julia and became her friend — Chef Jean Joho of Everest and Paris Club in Chicago, Eiffel Tower Restaurant in Las Vegas, and Brasserie Jo in Boston. In the first of two short videos, Chef Joho recalls Julia’s enthusiasm when she found out about the opening of the original Brasserie Jo in Chicago, and how she insisted they go over and sample some of the food — right after a full dinner at Everest. Watch it below.
