Nantucket Cove: Mayfair (Cove) Dressing

C. Gordon Heiss, president of the Mayfair-Lennox Corporation, developed this creamy anchovy based dressing at the Hotel Mayfair in the 1950s. When he opened Nantucket Cove in 1959, he brought the dressing with him, changing the name from Mayfair Dressing to Cove Dressing after he sold the Mayfair-Lennox Hotels in 1969.
