The Proud Bird Restaurant’s Honey Mustard Dressing

This restaurant that sits across from two runways at Los Angeles International Airport was a favorite white tablecloth/steakhouse lunch spot since 1967.  It closed for almost a year and  in June 2016 it was replaced by a revamped food bazaar with open space and a host of new food offerings, a concept akin to Los Angeles’ Grand Central Market.  No word if this favorite dressing was still available.  It also shows up as being from Pet Hirshburner, of the Queen Mary Restaurants circa 1970.  It is the house dressing of The Specialty Restaurant Corp.
