[...] For your guests with more sophisticated palates, I’d recommend an actual Jasmine, or perhaps the beacon that lit my way through our last presidential primary season: the tasty and comparatively sensible Baroque Obama. [...]

If you want to know more about Ted saucier, check out his obituary in the new York times. It.s about 8to10 inches long which is quite unusual…a fairly big wig in NYC in the twenties,thirties and forties.

I also have a copy of Ted Saucier’s cocktail book. It was
given to me in the early 1980s by a friend of his. On the flyleaf,
Ted autographed the book to this great fried in 1957. A wonderful
book to have!

So interesting to see this! Ted Saucier was my mom’s (Janet Horn, but originally, Janet Cartwright) uncle! I’m not sure of the lineage, which side of her family, etc. But I grew up LOVING that book because of all the wonderful naughty pictures in it! Derr Moser, if you ever come back to this and see my comment, please find me on Facebook or email me (bob@bobhornrealtor.com). I’d love to figure out our connection!

i am ted saucier’s grandson. his daughter was marguerite hayden (he and my grandmother divorced early on). he was born in montreal and is buried in montreal. he was a graduate of mcgill university.i was told that i met ginger rogers in 1945 at his apartment on park avenue-my response to her was to hide under the bed-what a dummy! ted was an excellent cook and had a commanding voice and presence. he was also an excellent writer . he published the sardine cookbook and was a friend of the king of norway..he also wrote “peacock alley” and a book about a brother-in-laws experience in world war II.
he was very nice when you did what he wanted, but not so nice otherwise. i only saw him twice in my life but he has left an enduring memory of him.

[...] perusing this entertaining tome, I got to wondering who Ted Saucier was and ran across a comment on ADashofBitters blog from a woman name Beverly Scheinberg who worked for him at his PR firm. She describes him [...]

I worked for Ted Saucier in his PR office from February,1965 – May, 1966. He was quite an imposing individual. He was a very large man and loved to eat. We were in the process of putting together a cook book. I don’t think it was every published but I still have some of the recipes. They are very classic – just like the recipes in “Bottoms Up”. While I worked for him, he did PR for a clothing store called Lynn’s. They sold very inexpensive clothes. His big account was Norway Sardines. It wasn’t as glamorous as he may have wanted, but it paid the rent. He lived in Manhattan with his wife and I don’t think they had any children. He also maintained a friendship with Walter Pigeon. Walter was in the movie “Week-end at the Waldorf”. Ted was a “technical advisor”on the movie. It seemed to me that he lived in the past and missed his days at the Waldorf. Hope this gave you some insight into the man.
