Many things get called 1000 Island salad dressing. The one beloe is as
authentic as I could find. Origin is credited to Sophia LaLonde who gave
the recipe to May Irwin an actress from NYC.
"Miss Irwin, a renowned cook and cookbook authoress in her own right, was
particularly impressed with the dressing and asked George for the
recipe. The dressing was actually created and made by George's wife
Sophia, who was flattered by the request and willingly gave the recipe
to Miss Irwin. At the same time Mrs. LaLonde gave the recipe to the
Bertrand family, who owned the Herald Hotel, one of the most popular
hotels in Clayton and where Miss Irwin and her husband stayed during
their early vacations in the islands. The Bertrand's had their cook
prepare the dressing for Miss Irwin and her husband and also added it to
the other choices of salad dressing offered to her dining room
customers.
It was Miss Irwin who gave it the name "Thousand Island" and it was at
the Herald Hotel where the dressing was first served to the dining
public. Upon her return to New York City Miss Irwin gave the recipe to
fellow 1000 Islands summer visitor George C. Boldt, owner of the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel in New York, the Bellevue Stratford in Philadelphia and
also the builder of Boldt Castle on nearby Heart Island. Equally
impressed with its flavor, Mr. Boldt directed his world famous maitre
d', Oscar Tschirky, to put this dressing from the 1000 Islands on the
hotel's menu at once. In doing so Oscar earned credit for introducing
the dressing to the "world."" cribbed from:
