  Auguste Escoffier Summary
Georges Auguste Escoffier, later known simply as Auguste Escoffier, was born on October 28, 1846, in the small village of Villeneuve-Loubet, near Nice, in the Provence region of France.
Among Escoffier and Ritz's first successes was their joint venture at the Savoy Hotel in London, the first modern luxury hotel, where from 1890 to 1898 Escoffier served as Head of Restaurant Services and Ritz took the position of General Manager.
Escoffier aimed to curb these excesses, which often compromised the health of kitchen workers; he even hired a doctor to help concoct a comforting and healthful beverage, made with barley, that cooks could drink in place of alcohol.

  Auguste Escoffier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georges Auguste Escoffier (28 October 1846 – 12 February 1935) was a French chef, restaurateur and culinary writer who popularized and updated traditional French cooking methods.
In about 1920, Escoffier became the first chef to receive the Legion of Honor and in 1928 was made an Officer of the Legion.
Alongside the recipes he recorded and invented, another of Escoffier's contributions to cooking was to elevate it to the status of a respected profession, and to introduce discipline and sobriety where before there had been brutality and drunkenness.

 Georges-Auguste Escoffier
Escoffier was born at Villeneuve-sur-Loup (later renamed to Villeneuve-Loubet), 9 miles (15 km) outside of Nice.
In 1897, Escoffier and Ritz were fired from the Savoy, because in 1896 they had opened their own company called the "Ritz Hotel Development Company", which drew on Escoffier's team to help get grand hotels off the ground.
In 1898, Escoffier returned to London to oversee the opening of the Carlton Hotel in London by their company, which was to take much business away from the Savoy.

Three of Escoffier's most noted career achievements are revolutionizing and modernizing the menu, the art of cooking and the organization of the professional kitchen.
Escoffier simplified the menu as it had been, writing the dishes down in the order in which they would be served (Service à la Russe).
Escoffier also simplified professional kitchen organization, as he integrated it into a single unit from its previously individualized sections that operated autonomously and often created great wasted and duplication of labor.

In 1936, approximately a year after the death of Georges Auguste Escoffier, members of the American Culinary Federation in New York City invited hoteliers and leading citizens to join with the chefs to preserve the culinary traditions of the master.
There was a single restriction on the menu - one dish had to come directly from Escoffier's repertoire, and one had to come from the chef's own.
Interestingly, ladies were not invited to Les Amis diners until the 1950s, though Scotto had proposed that at least one such dinner per year be opened to them because, as he rightly observed, women were as interested in fine cookery as men.

 Strat's Place - Daniel Rogov - It's The Ritz
To Escoffier, there was "the same mysterious gap between a musical scale and a Debussy prelude as between an egg and a souffle." Among other things, Escoffier was a pompous ass, but, as the great gourmet Curnonsky said, "we forgive him his sins for every morsel he prepares for our tables is a masterpiece."
At his birth, it seemed most unlikely that young Escoffier would become the man who determined the types and styles of food that would be set on the most privileged tables of Europe.
Because his mother took pity on him, Escoffier escaped the rigors of the flsmith's life and began his working career as a dishwasher at the age of 13 in his uncle's restaurant in nearby Nice.
