Caesar salad was named for Italian immigrant restaurateur Caesar Cardini, according to the best known origin story. But the identify of the salad's inventor caused a famil fued.
Caesar salad, according to common acclaim, is named for Roman emperor Julius Caesar. You can stick a knife in that delicious myth. Instead, credit romaine emperor Caesar Cardini, an immigrant restaurateur from Italy, according to food historians.
He lived in San Diego, California and operated restaurants there and just across the border in Tijuana, Mexico, with his brother Alex. The salad’s inventor, however, is the source of an international dispute and, apparently, a civil war among the Cardini clan. 'To his dying day, Caesar said he invented it at his Caesar’s Place in Tijuana,' writes food historian Martin Lindsay on his website, ClassicSanDiego.com.
Stalks of lettuce, olive oil, raw egg, croutons, Parmesan cheese and Worcestershire sauce. Originally intended as a finger food rather than a salad and prepared tableside for flair, it was a hit.' Caesar salad grew famous almost overnight. It left quite an impression on a young girl and future celebrity chef from Pasadena, who visited Caesar’s with her family around 1925 or 1926.
