Julia Child’s Chicken, reinvented. Hungry?

The countdown begins, 4 more days until the movie Julie and Julia is released!  In continuation with our Julia Child obsession/worshiping , we bring you this delicious chef video recipe from Chef John from Food Wishes, showing us how to make Julia’s famous and classic recipe of roasted chicken with garlic and lemon.

But first, you may be wondering,  who is this Chef John, why does Savory Tv keep mentioning him, why was he in Aspen involved in a fashion shoot,  does he have a 5 star restaurant in NYC?   An underground secret venue such as Chef Todd in Vancouver perhaps?  What is his last name?

We will spill a few beans, promise to remember that you heard it here first!   His full name is John Mitzewich, although he loves it when we call him simply “Chef John”.  Not just a food blogger, although he is a food blogger, he is the American Food expert  for About.com.  Besides his famous french onion soup recipe, he will soon be a star chef for an up and coming reality/food  tv show, and his grassfed steakhouse recipe is frequently passed around as a recipe legend among secret foodie societies.    And…he loves Julia, perhaps even more than we do if that’s possible!   Via his blog he says “My decision to become a chef was a direct result of my childhood fixation with watching her cook on “The French Chef”.    So, please read the post that belongs with the video (recipe here) ,and learn why Chef John would cook Roasted Lemon Garlic Chicken for Julia if given the chance. (And remember, you heard it here first, Chef John is the next Fabio!)
