Phillip Sollomi opened the Wishbone Restaurant in 1948 in a renovated private residence, just north of the Country Club Plaza at 4455 Main St. The restaurant specialized in fried chicken and prime rib dinners and was home to the wildly popular Wishbone Italian salad dressing created from a recipe from Sollomi’s wife, Lena. The couple began local bottling of the dressing soon after opening the restaurant. The Thomas J. Lipton Company purchased the Wishbone operation in the late 50s, then established a manufacturing plant near 35th and Noland Road in 1962 expressly to produce Wishbone salad dressing and Lipton Teas. The description on the back of the card reads, “The Wishbone, completely air conditioned, Home of the famous Wishbone Salad Dressing, Available at your neighborhood grocer. Private Dining Rooms, Catering to lunch & dinner parties, featuring excellent service in an air of gracious hospitality.”

For 26 years, Michael has been the Publisher of Kansas City’s Northeast News. His journey at Northeast News began when he became the President of the Scarritt Renaissance neighborhood, serving two terms totaling ten years.
In 1996, Michael left his corporate communications job to become the Executive Director of the Northeast Chamber of Commerce. During this time, he discovered the local community newspaper was for sale.
In 1998, Michael and his wife Christine bought The Northeast News, turning it into a community news source. In 2021, Michael transitioned the publication from for-profit to non-profit, securing its future and opening doors to grants and sponsorships for non-profit newsrooms.
Outside of community reporting, Michael and Chris enjoy traveling in their toy hauler with their Harley and News Dog, Ella the Destroyer.
Michael’s journey clearly depicts his dedication to the Historic Northeast community, ensuring that news stories are told with truth.
