Best Answer

My memory is a bit shakey on this, but I remember reading about the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York (mid-town Manhatten) at some time, and there was a mention of the fact that the famous salad was originally made by one of their chefs. That is why they call it Waldorf salad. Conventionally credited to Oscar Tschirky, c.1893 at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City.
