Signature Dishes
Along with roasted prime ribs of beef, the restaurant is known for its Yorkshire pudding and signature "spinning salad." A 1953 menu from Lawry's claims that it was also "the first to feature a green salad as an integral part of every meal." The salad, which was introduced by the founders when the restaurant opened in 1938, is prepared tableside by a server who spins a large metal bowl of greens atop a bed of ice.

Famous quotes containing the words signature and/or dishes:
“The childless experts on child raising also bring tears of laughter to my eyes when they say, “I love children because they’re so honest.” There is not an agent in the CIA or the KGB who knows how to conceal the theft of food, how to fake being asleep, or how to forge a parent’s signature like a child.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
“When I develop my recipes I always look for ways to create what I call the Big Taste. While I enjoy eating simple grilled foods, what interests me when I cook are dishes with a taste that is fully dimensional.”
—Paula Wolfert, U.S. cookbook writer. Paula Wolfert’s World of Food, Introduction, Harper and Row (1988)
