During my time as Executive Chef from 1969 to 1979 The Waldorf - Astoria Hotel on Park Avenue in New York City was still the unofficial Palace of New York. Famous people lived in The Towers, Dignitaries from around the world were honored by dinners, gourmet societies came to enjoy wine and food and glamorous soirees took place in the elegant banquet rooms. History was made at diplomatic conferences and the most brilliant minds in the world presided over meetings.
