Marinate on It with Wish-Bone®

What is a marinade?

A marinade is a well seasoned liquid in which we leave meat, game, fish or vegetables to soak in for a certain amount of time.

The marinade allows deep seasoning of the item that is marinated but also the marinade will soften the fibers of tough pieces of meat and also will extend the shelf life of the product.

Wish-Bone® brand history

Today, salad lovers can enjoy dozens of delicious Wish-Bone® dressings with the salads they love to create. But the Wish-Bone® Story started almost 60 years ago thanks to a single recipe for Italian dressing and an ingenious American soldier. In 1945, just after World War II, Phillip Sollomi, an ex-G.I., opened a family-style chicken restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri and decided to name his place, "The Wish-Bone®."

Dressed for success Phil's restaurant was an immediate success, but in 1948, he decided the place was missing a certain...kick. He decided to ask his mother for the spicy salad dressing recipe she brought from her native Sicily. He thought his customers might like it. Boy, did they! Customers at "The Wish-Bone®" Restaurant went wild for the dressing and demanded bottles to take home. Phil eventually had to begin mixing the dressing in a 50 gallon drum while his mother happily applied labels declaring: "The Kansas City Wish-Bone® Famous Italian-Style Dressing."

Wish-Bone® makes a name

The fame of Wish-Bone® spread throughout the heartland. In 1957, Phil decided to sell the business to Lipton. We still care about what Phil and his mom did: the best ingredients, the original recipe, and the best food. And to this day, we still make our "famous" dressings in Kansas City, Missouri.
