In honor of Town Hall Theatre’s upcoming production of The Revolutionists and Marie Antoinette’s famous saying, “Let them eat brioche” (yes, that’s what she said), we’re taking you on a tour of this 100-year-old theater, giving you a sneak peak into the show and following it up with selection of various dishes all made with brioche.
Local restaurants participating in the Brioche Challenge include Yankee Pier, American Kitchen and Locanda Positano, recently named 2018 Best New Restaurant of the East Bay.
