Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 23:00:11 GMT

This is the tale of two Green Goddesses.One hundred years ago, the executive chef of San Francisco’s Palace Hotel created a salad dressing to honor noted actor George Arliss, who was staying at the hotel while performing in “The Green Goddess,” a popular stage production of the day.

Forevermore, Aug. 23 will be known in San Francisco as Green Goddess Day, an official city proclamation says.
