Like many of the great, family-owned, food companies in America, Joey D's entry into the business of bottling salad dressings began with a restaurant. This restaurant, Gourmet Gourmet in Tarzana, California, was known for serving the "perfect Chinese Chicken Salad". It was so good that it became a California sensation. Customers picked up baskets of food to take to the Hollywood Bowl, the Greek Theater, Dodger games, for parties and picnics. It wasn't unusual to see a line of limousines in front of the place on any given night.

Many customers would beg or bribe the wait staff for "just a little dressing to take home". For a while, those requests were met by filling empty wine bottles to satisfy the requests of the customers.

Debbie Fields, of Mrs. Fields Cookies fame, tried the Original Chinese Chicken Salad Dressing one day in the restaurant and loved it so much that she asked the owners of Joey D's if they could make a special version of the dressing for her chain of cafes, La Petit Boulangerie. Thus was born the Creamy Chinese Chicken Salad Dressing.

More dressings, such as Pasta Salad Dressing, were added to the restaurant line and the requests for bottles of dressing continued to increase until, one day in 1986, a decision to enter into production was made, and the fame of Joey D's began to spread ever wider. Dole Food Products eventually included Joey D's dressing in their pre-packaged salads, a line that sells over 25 million units per year.

A brand new entry (7/01) "All Natural Oriental Ginger Dressing" will sparkle, in the natural food stores especially, across the country. It is wonderful with everything!

Still owned and operated by John and Connie Spear, Joey D's gets requests now from all over the world, from folks who have tried their dressings and want to serve them at home.

To start the new millennium, Costco and Smart & Final requested that we make Club Size Original World Famous Chinese Chicken Salad Dressing for their customers.

All Joey D's products are Kosher Certified KOF-K.
