Neiman Marcus got into the food business in the late 1940's because one of the company's founders, Herbert Marcus Sr., was tired of the substandard food in downtown Dallas. His eyesight was failing as a result of hypertension, and making lunchtime excursions was becoming more difficult. One day his son Mr. Stanley, remarked half-jokingly, 'Well, you may be forced to open your own kitchen, dedicated to meeting your very exacting demands.' Soon after, Mr. Stanley hired a cook to prepare lunches for his father in a small room on the top floor of the store. He would invite vendors and guests to have lunch with him, and pretty soon his penthouse space became a popular venue and a busy place. After his death in 1950, Mr. Stanley embarked on expanding and remodeling the store. Mr. Stanley, who was by then president and chief executive officer of Neiman Marcus, decided that having a full-service restaurant on one of the new floors would help keep customers in the store when they came for a day of shopping. After all, a sated shopper is a happy shopper. And so, in 1953, the Zodiac Room was opened. Neiman Marcus Cookbook 2003
