"Jackson's and Julia: A Celebration of the 114th Birthday of Julia Child"

In celebration of famed chef Julia Child’s birthday, Jackson’s Steakhouse will be offering special features for dinner service in her honor on Saturday, August 15, 2026.

Julia Child was America’s first, although fairly reluctant, food celebrity. She adamantly insisted that she wasn’t a “chef,” Child nonetheless single-handedly changed the way we think about food in this country. With a dozen cookbooks to her credit and countless hours of televised cooking shows, Julia Child demonstrated her mastery of French cuisine with unparalleled grace and ease.

In addition to our regular dinner menu, Chef Irv Miller has created two Julia Child-inspired features for the evening; Julia’s renowned Beef Bourguignon recipe featuring Slow-braised beef in red wine with bacon, onions, carrots, fresh herbs and mushrooms; as well as Julia’s classic Niçoise Salad featuring Mesclun greens, blanched green beans, white potato salad, vine ripe tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, capers, pepper-seared tuna, anchovy fillets, Kalamata olives.

This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy some of Julia Child’s most-loved recipes. For reservations, please call Jackson’s Steakhouse, 850-469-9898 or visit jacksonsrestaurant.com. Bon appétit!
