I used to love the sole meunière at the Savoy Hotel Baur en Ville. I stayed there so many times, once when I left a pair of boxers behind, they were laundered and presented back to me in a package labelled 'Unterhose' when I next checked in.

Great story. It's been given a refurb and the Mandarin Oriental treatment over the last year.

Remember when First Boston profited from the Nazi war effort, stole their victims' money, lied about it, then got caught, and then got caught lying about it again? And again? Oh wait, sorry, that was Credit Suisse, not the investment bank. Bulgarian cocaine dealers were just the tip of the iceberg - just a sleazy corporate culture. Great stuff Rupak.
