Escoffier Room is mentioned in Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain.

“The final class before graduation was the dreaded yet yearned-for "E Room,' the Escoffier Room, an open-to-the-public, three-star restaurant operated for profit by the school. Diners, it was said, made reservations years in advance. Here, classic French food was served a la carte, finished and served off guéridons by amusingly inept students.”
