1000 Island dressing

Okay where has all the 1000 Island dressing gone? I ordered room service yesterday, asked for 1000 Island dressing for my fries. We don't have any they said. No 1000? But they did have a very nice BBQ Ranch.
The food at Hotel Restaurant was great. So funny here in a area where seafood is king the host hotel's restaurant was was "Pike's Peak Mining Company" a steak house. I had some great meals.
But anyway. on for the hunt for dressing. Out and about I stopped at a railroad car restaurant, like I see on Drive ins, Diners and Dives on the Food Channel. Their specials for the day hanging in the window, was Scrod(Yucky name) and Fish and Chips, so of course I ordered Shrimp and Chips. I always mean to get the fish, but always get the shrimp.
So I go into this railroad car dinner in the parking lot of the Dollar Store and its like a 50's dinner, and at the counter is the owner doing paperwork. I order and ask for 1000 Island dressing for my fries, waitress says we don't HAVE THAT. But owner pipes in of yes we do. Its downstairs on the shelf under the stairs. I say no, don't go to any trouble. He says no problem and sends waitress down to the bowels of the restaurant, to come back with a dusty bottle of Wishbone dressing. I stick to the tartar sauce. I wonder what they dip their fries in back East. Never did find out.
