Print Works Restaurant in Greensboro Features Julia Child's Recipes and Movie Package

GREENSBORO, N.C., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of America's most loved chef, Julia Child, and the new movie, Julie and Julia, Print Works Bistro is offering a prix-fixe menu featuring recipes from Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

"If it weren't for Julia and the work she did, this restaurant quite literally wouldn't exist today," said Bart Ortiz, Executive Chef and Operating Partner at Print Works. "She's America's most approachable bridge to French cuisine."

Beginning August 7, when the movie debuts, a three-course dinner and two-course lunch menu will include Child's beloved recipes, including Lobster Thermidor, salmon mousse, crepes, quiche, potatoes au gratin and poached flounder with mussels and shrimp.

Print Works Bistro, adjacent to the Proximity Hotel, offers European bistro food adapted to the American palate, with an emphasis on incorporating fresh and locally grown ingredients. "Our concept all along has been to borrow some of the ideas of traditional bistros in Europe-and specifically from France-and translate them to suit American tastes," says Ortiz.

The movie Julie and Julia stars Meryl Streep as the youthful "Julia" discovering France with her husband. Woven into the movie's plot is the true-life story of "Julie," a failed novelist who attempts to save her marriage and soul by cooking 500+ recipes from Child's cookbook.

Most Americans know Julia from TV. Beginning in 1962 on PBS, "The French Chef" brought really serious cooking into American households through Child's casual, carefree and often hilarious recipe preparations. "As she made mistakes-and a huge mess of her kitchen-as we all do at home, classical French cuisine seemed so much less daunting and 'haute' to many Americans," says Ortiz.

The "fixed-price" menu is $38 for three courses at dinner and $15 for two courses at lunch. Diners can choose from a selection of appetizers, entrees, and desserts.

In conjunction with the special menu, Proximity Hotel is offering a new "Movie Fix and Prix Fixe Package" that includes a night's stay with a late checkout, transportation to the theater and a gift voucher for dinner. For more information on this package, go to proximityhotel.com.

Print Works Bistro is located at 702 Green Valley Road in Greensboro, North Carolina. To see the menus, get recipes from Julia and make dining reservations, go to printworksbistro.com.
