Subject: Larry Blake’s in Berkeley CA - salad dressing From: Suzan Date: 1/29/2021, 7:47 AM To: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com On 1/28/2021 10:38 PM, Suzan wrote: Hello! I attended Berkeley in the early 70’s and ate at Larry Blake’s a lot. Always got the salad. Last time I was able to go there before they closed, I scored several bottles and then they closed. I know the recipe was a secret, but they are now closed. Can you get hold of it for me? I swear that I would not EVER divulge it to anyone. Can you do it??? Thank you! Suzan
Hi Suzan,
I searched for the "Salmagundi Sandwich" from Larry Blake's in 2017: 11-24-2017
and the "Cinemascope Sandwich" from there in 2019: 1-2-2019
At those times, I searched for any and all recipes from Larry Blake's. I found several posts on message boards by people trying to find that salad dressing recipe, but they weren't having any success and neither did I. I searched again today for the salad dressing recipe or anything new at all regarding Larry Blake's, but again I had no success.
Sorry that I couldn't help. I'll post this. Perhaps one of my readers can assist.

Thank you so much! I read only a mob boss’s wife in the 50s got it. What a loss! They could at least reproduce it again! They used to sell it in the cleaned out beer bottles. Should have taken it to a lab for analysis!!! Anyone who knows, let me know! I won’t tell the secret. Would sign an NDA! Thanks so much for your help, Phaedrus! Suzan
