Cooking great Julia Child was born on Aug. 15, 1912. That means she would have been 97 this Saturday.

To celebrate her culinary genius, we’re asking you to do something in her honor and share the details in a post below. You could cook one of her recipes, watch the film “Julie & Julia” at the theaters, or dine out on a favorite dish you associate with her.

COCO Chocolate Lounge and Bistro, 18402 U.S. 281, is one place offering a dish in her memory. Boeuf bourguignon is the restaurant’s special this weekend for $19. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling (210) 491-4480.

Whatever you do, don’t forget the butter. It was one of Julia’s favorites.

COCO Chocolate Lounge & Bistro always looked like a place you would get some sort of entertainment.  The jeweled chandeliers, the red velvet, the accommodating Frenchmen, seductive foods, it just set that idea in your head.  They have a very nice wine list, exotic cocktails, truly hedonistic desserts.

Now, starting July 11th and repeating on the 25th, COCO has some great entertainment provided by the lovely and talented singer Beverly Houston. Reservations recommended, call (210) 491-4480.

COCO Chocolate Lounge & Bistro is at 18402 U.S. 281 N., Suite 114.
