Operation Bon Appétit

Toast to Julia Child, Our Hero

To Special Ops Culinary Agent Julia Child whose joie de vivre, love of good food and wine, and path breaking work to bring people together for a fun time inspires us all. Julia was a CIA agent early in her career and a true hero for the groundbreaking work she did in that role. There are only a few of us that know the real story. Julia was not an agent for the Central Intelligence Agency; she was actually a Culinary Agent for the Cultural Innovation Agency (CIA) and was highly regarded for her subversive work for their top secret Operation Bon Appetit. Her program sign-off of “Bon Appetit” was an encouraging signal to all of us that her work for world change was going well. That’s the story according to Mission Control, the Cultural Innovations Agency (CIA), and we are sticking to it.
