L John Harris is a former Cheese Boarder, author of the book Foodoodles, and a historian of Berkeley and the Gourmet Ghetto. By Harris’s account, Kahn certainly used the term and likely popularized it, but did not invent it herself. To that, he credits Darryl Henriques..

I began my professional show business career in 1967 when I joined the San Francisco Mime Troupe, earning the princely sum of $5 a performance. We were doing an antiwar Commedia play called The Military Lover. The Fillmore, the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, the Doors, the Beatles, the Stones, the Byrds, the Animals--all of God’s creatures--you remember, don’t you? That was the year Captain Kirk hot-rodded around the galaxy in the Starship Enterprise and Dustin Hoffman graduated with Mrs. Robinson. Allen Ginsberg was Howling, Paul Krassner was realizing, Abbie Hoffman was freeloading, and Scoop Nisker on KSAN in San Francisco was telling everyone, “If you don’t like the news, then go out and make some of your own!”.
