Ken's Steak House Salad Dressing

Ken's Steak House Salad Dressing originated in 1941 at the eponymous restaurant in Framingham, Massachusetts, founded by Ken and Florence Hanna. The dressings became so popular that customers requested they be bottled for home use. In 1958, family friends Frank and Louise Crowley began bottling the dressings from their own kitchen, eventually establishing Ken's Foods, Inc.

Today, Ken's Foods remains a privately held, family-owned company, primarily owned by the Crowley and Hanna families. The brand has grown to be one of the largest salad dressing manufacturers in the United States. Manufacturing is primarily conducted at state-of-the-art facilities across the U.S., including locations in Marlborough, Massachusetts; McDonough, Georgia; Lebanon, Indiana; and Las Vegas, Nevada. The company also handles contract manufacturing for other major brands, maintaining its reputation for high-quality, authentic flavors that trace back to the original restaurant recipes.
