During the late Fall and early Winter, the Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, serves two different versions of the Classic Waldorf Salad, which Maitre d’hotel named Oscar Tschirky created for New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in 1896. Wright’s Waldorf Salad is a semi-classic edition that fits the iconic and historic restaurant, Wright’s at The Biltmore. Frank & Albert’s Waldorf Salad has evolved from the 83-year old Biltmore, mixing in bacon, blue cheese, and spicy orange vinaigrette. This keeps with the popular and trendy Frank & Albert’s restaurant. I enjoy the Wright’s version.
