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 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, chicken, or beef stock, chilled (often in a citrus or vinegar marinade), tossed with mild peppers, and sometimes served over lettuce. [3] [5] [6]
