It's a pretty big week in food history. The illustrious Julia Child was born on August 15, 1912, and died on August 13, 2004. Which means, that had she lived, she would have been celebrating her centennial this year. Amazing. Known for bringing the French style cuisine to the U.S., Ms. Child is celebrated everywhere. And this year, Hungry Lady favorite, Terra, is throwing a birthday bash.
Running from August 14 through August 18, Terra is offering a three-course meal (with or without wine pairings) to celebrate the life and death of Ms. Julia Child. The flat cost of the meal is $30, $40 if you let Terra pick out your wine pairings, and $50 if you let them pick wine from their reserve wine list. Not a bad deal, especially when you know the food is going to be good.
Terra is known for its use of fresh, local ingredients. In building a menu to showcase the French style, I hope that Terra is able to stay true to that philosophy. Of course, after looking at the menu, it looks like they will be. Now. Who wants to go to dinner tomorrow or Friday?
You can read the full press release, including the menu, after the jump.

Food Truck Update
I got a comment the other day about my post from a couple of weeks ago about Saving Columbia's Food Trucks. Sorry for not relating this info sooner....this is why you should follow me on Facebook and Twitter. Sometimes I update those and forget to update the blog. Oops.
Anyway. I ended up going to the City Council meeting that was dealing with this issue, after emailing my post about it to the Mayor and Council Members. There was quite a crowd there to support our local trucks. First the representative from the SC Hospitality Association spoke about his concerns. After he finished, and the Council asked some questions, 5 or 6 people spoke on behalf of the trucks. The Free Times ran a great article about this, so I suggest that you go read it here. Their coverage is much more comprehensive than anything I'd be able to relate.
Bottom line, there were some positive results for our food trucks. At one of the Council meetings in September 2012, the issue will be revisited to see how the trucks and restaurants are living in harmony. In the meantime, keep on truckin'. Sorry...couldn't resist. But seriously, keep an eye on each truck's Twitter feed, as that's the best way to keep track of who is where on any given day. And make sure to let the trucks know how much you enjoyed your meal. Feedback is always a great thing.
