~ Parlez-vous Pâté? ~

Henri, America's first and most renowned charcutier introduced authentic French pâtés to the United States in 1960. Beginning with a few recipes from his native France and the firm belief that Americans would learn to love fresh pâtés and French-style sausages if they were available, Henri created something of a sensation in San Francisco as customers lined up at his small shop on Russian Hill. Before long, thousands of Americans were enjoying their first taste of pâté. Henri continues traveling the country sampling his products in food shows, gourmet stores and market delis.
