you know I am a member in goodstanding of a society called "LesAmis D'Eseoff ler."
I never met August Escoffier,the famous Frensh chef who • wasborn in 1846 and went to his re-wald in 1935. But we were kin ofa sort. He loved to cook and_ Ialways have loved to stuff mymiddle with rich foods.
"Les Ames D'Escoffiers' in *Iseyou aren't up on your high schoolFrench, means "The friends ofEsooffier." Once a year...;an manycities of the world, latotel managersand chefs fight to see what finemeals they can put out in hdnorof the granddaddy of the meat,sauce and ladle trade.Nobody ever wins, but every,
hotel manager in active mvriber-ship puts a burr under his headchef to see that there is a lot ofgood stuff under the gla,as andfluid flowing without interruptioninto glassware of various size.Wine, mostly.

attended was in Minneapolis. Minn.I believe that Cedric Adams, acolumnist for the Register andTribune papers ,and I were thefast newspapermen ever to tucks.b with the high and mi,ghty ofsihe zociety.. -

That night back there in 1936, Ithink it was, wound up with thewealthy hotel managers gatheredaround a crap table and beginninga simple little crap game at $1,000a lick. Cedric arid I left.Well, a recent one of these an-
nual affairs was held atthe Shera-ton Carlton Hotel here.The menu started out the same-
all guests are equal. It said at thebeginning that "There will be noguest of honor. Member andguests will sit where they please.... napkin must be tucked in thecollar.. .smoking fortadden up tothe time dessert is served. A per-son who smokes while eating doesnot deserve the title of 'gourmet."
Mouth Watering MenuThe menu - as much of it. as
time allows:"La tortue verte amontillado"
