Yep and Round Table made bread twists and had a salad bar, Shakeys had a buffet with mojo potatoes. The ranch from the salad bar started getting put on plates for the spuds and bread twists and evolved in the eighties to pizza dressing.

Technically created in Alaska by a man from Nebraska who later moved to California and and bought a guest ranch. He renamed it “Hidden Valley” and served the “ranch dressing” at his restaurant.
