Description

Happy 175th birthday to Auguste Escoffier! In honour of the founding father of the modern restaurant we invite you Purple People, to join us in some fine dining today. 



Please let maitre d’hotel Brandreth sit you at your table (with its impeccably white table cloth) and waitron Dent will soon be here to serve you today’s finest offering of delectable culinary language. Soup is definitely off the menu (as are brown shoes…Gyles will explain!) and let’s hope you don’t order anything that is an ‘86’. 



That aside, as a purple person you are most certainly a WKF and therefore ‘Mr. Save’ has been called throughout this finest of establishments, ensuring your entertainment and wordy appetite will be satisfied today. 



If you have a linguistic query or a tale from the table we’d love to hear it at purple@somethinelse.com. 



A Somethin’ Else production.
