Mayfair salad dressing

Mayfair salad dressing is a salad dressing incorporating anchovies, created at the Mayfair Hotel in downtown St. Louis. It was first served in the hotel's restaurant, The Mayfair Room, the first five-star restaurant in Missouri,[1] which featured Elizabethan-inspired decor. Chef Fred Bangerter is believed to have created the dressing around 1935.[1]
