Caesar Salad Was Invented in Tijuana, Mexico by…
Caesar Cardini had originally operated a restaurant in San Diego, California, but relocated to Tijuana, Mexico with the advent of Prohibition. Like many restaurateurs, Cardini believed that a fine meal in the town required cocktails before dinner and wine with dinner. In Tijuana, he could offer both.

The Original Caesar’s Restaurant in Tijuana in 1927
According to Caesar’s daughter Rosa, her father invented the salad when a Fourth of July 1924 rush depleted the kitchen’s supplies. Cardini made do with what he had, adding the dramatic flair of the table-side tossing “by the chef.” Caesar salad is the most spectacular salad in the world!

I love Caesar salad – it’s been years since I had one. We used to have an outdoor cafe in downtown Detroit where they had a soup/salad bar and soft drink/coffee/tea for $3.00. My coworkers and I often went – such a deal and their specialty was Caesar salad.

Caesar salad is delicious. I believe there is a creamy alternative dressing; I prefer that one. Great post!
