Fascinating article. I remember the pre-sneezeguard days; coming up: the tip jar. 😉

Hendrik isn't a woman's name, it's her husband's. As seen in several other women quoted (Mrs Frank Buck, Mrs Walter Mace) most women were referred to, in print at least, by their husband's names.

In Chicago, legend has it that RJ Grunts was the first salad bar in the city. The restaurant is still open, and is still a slice of the 70s.

Nice post. Interesting that in current times Salad Bars have been a large contributor to incidents of Food Poisoning. I got Campylobacter (a nasty version) from a Souplantation in Marina Del Rey, CA. At least the doctor said it was highly likely that was where I got it, and there had been numerous incidents of FP from Salad Bars.
