You've seen Julie & Julia [1] as well as Dan Aykroyd's famous Julia Child sketch on SNL [2], but have you ever actually watched Julia Child [3]'s cooking show The French Chef [4]? In case you've always wondered how Julia cooks the perfect omelet or roast chicken, there will be a marathon of all 201 episodes on Twitch [5] (a social video platform) starting today, March 15, at 2 p.m. PDT. The show originally ran from 1963 to 1973. It's amazing to witness how far we've come in food TV over the last 50 years! I personally can't wait to see Julia's famous flubs (the show must go on, even if the chicken falls to the floor) and hear her quotable one-liners, like you must have "the courage of conviction" when flipping pancakes.
