June 2, 1981, was a historic day at Billy Goat Tavern. That’s when world-renowned gourmet chef, Julia Child, and legendary short cook, Sam Sianis met over a cheezborger.
According to Sam, Julia stopped by because, “She wanted to know the secret – she heard all over the country about cheezborger, cheezborger.”
So what did she think of her first Cheezborger?
“I think I could live on this forever”, exclaimed Child.
She also gave Billy Goat’s atmosphere 4 stars. “The atmosphere is a lot of fun. There’s a nice nostalgia. You don’t see many places like that any more, do you?” She’d be happy to know that not much has changed in the 33 years since her visit!
