The character of Escoffier came alive and spoke directly to you as if you were having a tête à tête in his home in Monte Carlo. From the play we learned about his relationship with these luminaries, the challenges of his day, and his culinary accomplishments. It became more important to be seen dining at the Carlton than to stay and eat at home. When Ritz ran the London Carlton, and Escoffier ran its dining room, together they changed English society's dining habits. Escoffier met with, and impressed, the important people on the world stage at that time: King Edward VII, Kaiser Wilhelm II, actress Lily Langtry, hotelier César Ritz, and opera superstars Nellie Melba and the divine Sarah Bernhardt. This man was a giant in the culinary world at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.

Our event featured a dinner with all Escoffier recipes paired with all French wines.
