Smithsonian Magazine, The Lazy Susan, the Classic Centerpiece of Chinese Restaurants, Is Neither Classic nor Chinese. By 1918, Century Magazine was already describing the lazy Susan as out of fashion, [21] but beginning in the 1950s its popularity soared once again after the redesign and reintroduction of the lazy Susan by George Hall, an engineer, soy sauce manufacturer, and partner in popular San Francisco-area Chinese restaurants ( Johnny Kan's, Ming's of Palo Alto and John Ly's Dining), and the rotating tray became ubiquitous in Chinese restaurants and was used in homes around the globe. [22] The decline in America's domestic service sector after World War I and its collapse following World War II, [23] combined with the post-war Baby Boom, led to a great demand for them in US households across the country in the 1950s and 1960s.
