Too much emphasis can never be laid on the necessity of securing more first-rate...
Chef of the hotel (officially: "Director of the Waldorf-Astoria Kitchens") is Alexandre Gastaud, a pupil for 40 years of the famed-to-gourmets Auguste Escoffier. Chef Gastaud used to cook for food-fond Edward VII. Director of the Towers will be Commendatore Guilio Gelardi who is being loaned by Claridge's of London for the fall and winter seasons. But best known of the Waldorf potentates will be Oscar Tschirky, 65, maître d'hôtel at the old Waldorf, with whom the tycoons and celebrities of many lands are proud to claim acquaintance. During...
