George N. Gekas, a former Harrisburg restauranteur and founder of the Gazebo Room Salad Dressing & Marinade company in Fairview Township, died April 20 after a brief illness.
Gekas, who was 88, built the Gazebo Room brand from a recipe he developed for a Greek oil and vinegar dressing used on cold cut subs at the former Ranch restaurant in Harrisburg. Today, his sons, Nick and Steven, sell the dressing nationwide through Best Dressed Associates.
Gekas, who immigrated from Greece at the age of 17, also operated the landmark Gazebo Room Restaurant in Harrisburg with his wife, Yvonne, for 25 years until it closed on New Year’s Eve 1998.
