Carl's Jr, CPK Served After Alice Waters Live Demonstration

Described by OC Weekly as the "quintessential Berkeleyite," Alice Waters visited Los Angeles this past weekend to promote her latest literary effort, In the Green Kitchen: Techniques to Learn By Heart at the L.A. Times Festival of Books. Although this year's Festival of Book was reportedly "weaker than most for food lovers," defenseless Waters had to watch, after "[having] her way with unbelievably high-quality vegetables on stage," as the audience was presented with lunch choices like Carl's Jr., California Pizza Kitchen and Panda Express. Oops. We imagine neither the Donna of organic food nor the audience were none to thrilled. (In fast food's defense, the Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger is a modern marvel to behold.) [via Eater]
