Julia Childs’ Cooking Lesson at Billy Goat

April 11, 2025

Cheezborger, Michigan Avenue

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!
