Aurora Bistro's cool tribute to Julia - "Crepes Julia" yesterday Aug 13, 2004

[UPDATE from ROLAND: Whoops, this event was yesterday, August 13th NOT today August 14 as I originally posted.  Mea culpa! I was confused because I didn't receive the email until today.  Thanks to Kurtis from Aurora for pointing this out.  It would be great if this tribute could last the whole weekend.]

If only Aurora Bistro had a blog (obligatory plug - it's easy and cheap, call me at 604 729 7924), then they could easily post cool things such as the following tribute to Julia Child (which we received via email today).  We would be there if we could (but it's not going to happen because of the baby!).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

August 14th, 2004

(Vancouver, BC) On Friday, August 13th to celebrate the life and influence of Julia Child, Aurora Bistro's Chef Jeff Van Geest created "Crepes Julia" as that evening's special. The Crab & Morel Mushroom Crepes with a Truffled Sweet Pea Sauce were ordered by every single table Aurora served on Friday  evening, and the restaurant will donate their proceeds to the Julia Child Endowment Fund, created in 1997 by the IACP Foundation.  The fund was established to perpetuate Julia Child's culinary interest and provides an annual scholarship for a professional to do independent study in France on French cuisine, wine, history, culture and traditions.
