This month, we’re celebrating the 99th birthday of our founder, Chuck Williams! What better way to mark the occasion than our return to Sonoma, where we’re reopening the doors of Chuck’s very first store? Plus, in honor of Chuck’s continuing legacy of equipping and educating home cooks, the City of Sonoma is proclaiming October 2nd “Chuck Williams Day.”
All month long, we’re asking Chuck’s fans to post photos or videos on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram wishing him a happy birthday. Chef Tyler Florence kicked off the celebrations on his own Instagram, where he posted this creative video:
