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]the dressing was also credited to the head waiter of that era named Harry Amos.
The dressing was the signature dish at the historic Nantucket Cove restaurant in St. Louis, whence the proprietor had purchased the tightly guarded secret recipe from the Mayfair hotel iteself. While the original recipe remains a secret, there are many versions of "Mayfair dressing" on the menu in present day St. Louis restaurants.[3]
