Austinist Francophile Foodie Alert: Chef Roger Mollett
It’s been almost a week since we enjoyed brunch at the home of former Central Market executive chef Roger Mollett and his partner, Greg Murphy, and we have to tell you – Chef Roger looks damn good. Two years ago we were called on to create an apron design for a fundraiser benefiting Chef Roger, who was simply not feeling too hot. Alamo Drafthouse brought the Rolling Roadshow out to the Barr Mansion for a showing of Vatel, and everyone from Texas Culinary Academy students to Grapevine Market to Marta’s Flan came out to share their products and show their support. Mayor WIll Wynn even proclaimed it Chef Roger Mollett Day in Austin, Texas. Still, as a culinary community, we were worried.
"Turkeys Are Interesting Individuals"
Should you find yourself near the West 15th Street Overpass at North Lamar during lunchtime today, look out for the gigantic turkey walking around. Members of People's Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are planning on putting up a huge banner from 12-1pm with the message: Thanksgiving Is Murder on Turkeys!
