Serving the same menu on the same day and “wherever men of taste can meet around a good table” are the principles of the Epicure's Dinners created by Escoffier, whose aim was to “demonstrate the excellence of French cuisine to the world,” which his disciples now continue every year. "We sincerely appreciate all the chefs for their collaboration in providing diners with such a wonderful night and a tasteful dining experience. With the support of everyone, the Epicure's Dinner will continue to let more people experience the charm of food," said Mr. Peter Zhou, the president of the Disciples Escoffier International China Delegation.
