It’s pretty much confirmed that the Caesar Salad was created in Tijuana. For several years now, the city of Tijuana has held a celebration on Avenida Revolución to commemorate it. I never knew about it until now, but there’s a good chance you’ll see me there this year.
Here’s a brief history:

It was very interesting reading about the Cardini connection to Caesar Salad. Cardini is the only commercial brand I like. When I lived in LA, Gelson’s had a great dressing they called Caesar, but it wasn’t creamy like the classic. Unfortunately, it’s been discontinued or I’d have it sent to me here in CT. Thee best freshly made Caesar I ever had was at a restaurant in Acapulco called Armando’s which has been gone for a long time. They called it Armando’s Salad…
Man, I wish you were here. It would be great to go to the festival with an aficionado like you… among other reasons, of course
Yeah, that would be great…maybe next year. I’d be in Caesar Salad heaven!
I read the links! Saving that recipe!! Thanks Bruce! ❤
