Julia Child’s Birthday Specials 🍸
Blue Talon Bistro
Few people changed the way Americans think about food, drink, and entertaining quite like Julia Child. This Saturday, The Blue Talon Bistro is celebrating her birthday with classic dishes, a special chilled summer soup, “The Upside-Down Martini.”, and an incredible Birthday Bourbon!
Here is what’s on the menu and the stories behind them:
🍸 “Stirred, Not Shaken” — The Upside-Down Martini
Offering Julia’s favorite drink all day Saturday for just $5!
America’s most beloved TV chef and Britain’s most beloved spy shared a legendary love of martinis! Unlike 007, however, Julia’s go-to cocktail featured far more dry vermouth than gin and was gently stirred—never shaken. That inverse ratio of spirits earned this drink the nickname “The Upside-Down Martini.”
Come raise a glass with us this Saturday, say “Happy Birthday, Julia!”, and enjoy one for just $5.
🥔 Julia’s Summer Favorite: Chilled Vichyssoise
If you look up “Julia Child’s favorite soup,” two classics pop up: French Onion and Vichyssoise. While French Onion is on our menu every day, this Saturday only, they’re serving her iconic Vichyssoise! This velvety, chilled potato-and-leek soup is the ultimate mid-August summer treat.
(Save room for a slice of our three-layer Chocolate Birthday Cake for dessert!)
🍲 Keeping the Faith
Our appreciation for how Julia brought French cuisine into American home kitchens shows up every single day on our menu. You don’t have to wait for August to enjoy her most iconic creations—Blue Talon Bistro’s French Onion Soup, Boeuf Bourguignon, and Dover Sole are menu staples year-round.
🥃 Dram of the Week: Old Forester “Birthday Bourbon”
What better whiskey to feature during a birthday celebration? This expression is a blend of whiskeys that are all aged for at least 12 years. It is released only once a year to celebrate the birthday of Old Forester’s founder, George Garvin Brown. A once-a-year release aged for over a decade isn’t cheap—but hey, you’re worth it! Sláinte!
