    Name: Beaujolais in My Blood: Author Talk
    Date: May 18, 2023
    Time: 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM PDT
    Website: http://www.kelleyhousemuseum.org/visit-events
    Event Description:
    Wondering how the acclaimed Café Beaujolais got its start? Find out at this book signing and slideshow with Eric Neil Pitsenbarger, author of the new book Beaujolais in My Blood: Growing Up Gay and Well-Fed in a Family-Run French Restaurant. The son of Café Beaujolais’ original owners, Gerald and Ellen Pitsenbarger, Eric will be interviewed by local writer Eleanor Cooney, and copies of his book will be for sale, with proceeds benefiting the Kelley House Museum.
     
    Told from the perspective of a closeted adolescent, this memoir is a revealing and humorous account of a complex family story, intertwined with the creation of a renowned French restaurant. Pitsenbarger captivates readers with tales of rustic 1970s Mendocino: eccentric old-timers and hippie new-comers, ingenuous tourists, and demanding movie stars. The story reveals a dark family secret and the search for love; it is as much a celebration of community as it is the origin story of the legendary restaurant.
     
    You WILL be hungry after hearing Eric read about food, so afterward Café Beaujolais is hosting a “progressive event” at their Waiting Room, where they will serve small-plate edibles. Winners of an on-site raffle will receive a voucher for dinner at the Beaujolais at 1968 prices!
     
    Beaujolais in My Blood are available for purchase for $20 online and at the Kelley House Museum, as well as at both events.
