If you haven’t yet been to Cissi’s Market (1400 South Congress), the little oasis of gourmet food and vino in Soco, let me give you a fun excuse.

Tonight, Cissi’s premieres “Julie & Julia,” the foodie film headed to theaters Aug. 7th. Directed by Nora Ephron (of “When Harry Met Sally, “Sleepless in Seattle” and “You’ve Got Mail”), the film stars Meryl Streep and Amy Adams.  It’s the true story of Austin native Julie Powell who blogged her way thru all 524 recipies in Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. 

I love to devour food memoirs (sorry, bad pun), so I’m especially excited when one comes to the big screen. Besides, who can’t relate to cute Julie she learns her way around kitchen & has a few epic kitchen fails in the process (ahem, I started a small  fire in mine just last night)…Le sigh.

So tonight’s premiere is FREE and happens from 7-10pm. Snack on petit flours from Faith Chan, Cissi’s French culinary cuisine trained pastry chef and enjoy specials on French wines.  Also, there is swag promised for the first 5o.
