2008 Fortunate 500: Food
FOOD
Top Pick Sharon Watkins: The twinkle-eyed owner of Chez Zee has been bringing people together over food for quite a while now. Among the beneficiaries of her social largesse are the University of Texas Performing Arts Center, Austin Public Library Foundation, KLRU, Leadership Austin, Women Vote Friendship Lunch and Zach Theatre. We chatted with her at so many parties over the years it’s like we’re family.
