Wish-Bone^®

Life's too short for boring food. That's why Wish-Bone^® dressings and marinades are packed with vibrant, mouthwatering ingredients in every bottle.

The Wish-Bone^® story began with just a single Italian recipe. In 1945, returning World War II veteran Phillip Sollomi started a family-style chicken restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri. “The Wish-Bone” was open for business.

In 1948, the Wish-Bone found its true calling when Phil debuted his mother’s Italian dressing recipe brought from her native Sicily, which became an instant hit.

The demand grew and Phil began producing it in 50-gallon drums, bottling it with his mother's distinctive label:

"THE KANSAS CITY WISH-BONE FAMOUS
ITALIAN-STYLE DRESSING."

The dressing's popularity spread throughout the heartland, leading to TJ Lipton's purchase of the business in 1957.

Today, while the brand has expanded to include many varieties of dressings and marinades, it maintains its commitment to the authentic ingredients and exceptional flavor that made the original recipe famous.
