ONN – An Evening with L. John Harris: Berkeley Food Historian, Artist, and Raconteur – video by the YouTube channel in the video’s upper left hand corner.
Tune into this tantalizingly titled talk by one of Berkeley’s true Renaissance men:
Tales of the Gourmet Ghetto: My 50-Year Obsession with Over-Roasted Coffee, Goaty Cheese, Baby Vegetables, Stinky Garlic, Fatty Pastrami, and More
Illustrated with his own cartoons, John’s Zoom presentation will cover the history of Berkeley’s famous food scene and his latest book, Café French: A Flâneur’s Guide To The Language, Lore & Food Of The Paris Café. He also will discuss renaming the Gourmet Ghetto, the relationship between food and architecture, and the outdoor dining areas that have sprung up during the pandemic.
John has been enjoying — and enriching — our local food and cultural scene since his days as UC-Berkeley art student in the late ‘60s. He worked part time at the Cheese Board, waited tables the week Chez Panisse opened, and cooked at the Swallow Café in the original Berkeley Art Museum.
Since then, John has made two documentary films; performed as a classical guitarist; published cookbooks at Aris Books, which published food-related books; and amassed a museum-quality collection of guitars which he curates at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. He contributed regularly to the online food journal Zester Daily and is the author of The Book of Garlic, The Official Garlic Lovers Handbook, and Foodoodles: From the Museum of Culinary History.
Stay tuned.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
