Celery Victor is an historical American marinated celery salad dish invented in 1910 by Victor Hirtzler, head chef at San Francisco's St. Francis Hotel,[1] who is also credited by as with inventing Crab Louie.[2]
The dish, an "American classic",[3] was popularized by author Clarence Edwords in his 1914 book, A Bohemian Guide to San Francisco Restaurants.[4] To prepare, celery hearts are simmered in a veal or chicken stock, chilled (often in a citrus or vinegar marinade), tossed with mild peppers, then served over Romaine lettuce.[3][5]
