Caesar's Legendary Salad and Restaurant

Caesar's Hotel and Restaurant are located on Avenida de Revolución in Tijuana, Mexico. It is a high-end 5-star restaurant where Caesar's salad was invented. Have Beef Wellington and a tableside prepared original salad.
Truly a culinary memorable experience.

[@smenard1107]

I like the people in the comments saying shit about how they’re doing it wrong and what not, like this isn’t the place that invented the fucking thing.

[@HeartTheBacon]

i agree that this is definitely the original and most likely the way they wish to make it but that doesnt rule out that you can still improve on it be it with ingredients or technique. So it wouldnt be wrong really but i see no reason why someone shouldnt be able to find some improvements in how they make theirs

[@cevikbasmac1927]

@@HeartTheBacon improving something doesn't justify calling the original "wrong."

[@jayquick6520]

The place invented nothing… Like Caesars brother it only mooches off his name and his invention. Caesars daughter Rosa tells a journalist how it was originally prepared. The Caesar salad they make today was Caesars brothers recipe (Alex Cardini) known as the aviator salad. Why not just close your mouth if you have no clue what you’re talking about? That sounds fair right?

In 1978, I was doing tableside Caesar salad for the Holiday Inn, and one of the differences was using a whole coddled egg, and also rubbing the wooden bowl with the garlic clove rather than putting raw garlic in the salad. Tableside cooking was fun and we got great tips. Flambé dinners and desserts were so popular then!

[@kommisar.]

Mmm, as far as I know, you're using raw garlic whether you mince the garlic in the kitchen or smashing it in the bowl. There is no real chemical change in the garlic either way.

I never thought I would ever enjoy salads, but Caesar's dressing really is top tier

[@KOLN555]

Using the wooden bowl and tongs is kind of brilliant. To get that kind of emulsification in metal would require really vigorous whisking, but because the wood is comparably abrasive he can get away with a much gentler stirring motion. It looks more elegant and saves the server's arm so they can make it for several customers in a row without their arms falling off.

[@heffeff]

And kind of super bacterial too 😂

[@wilfred_ho]

Good observation about the mechanics of making the dressing. I've heard that some restaurants reserve wooden salad bowls and tongs for making tableside Caesar salads; apparently, it's similar to "seasoning" cast iron in that the cooking surface adds to the flavour of the salad. I have a wooden spoon that has taken on the aroma of every pasta sauce I have ever made, but I'm not sure if it adds anything to any sauces I plan to make.

[@zachnies13]

Or, you know, prepare the sauce ahead of time in the morning.

I hated Caesar salad as a kid. It always smelled terrible and looked like white vomit. One day, reluctantly, I was given one at Salvatore’s Restaurant in NY and it was very good. I realized then that it wasn’t Caesar salads that I hated… it was the dressing - everybody uses bottled mayonnaise dressing with too much parmesan cheese. I learned to make it myself and now it’s the only one I’ll touch. My recipe is somewhat similar to this, but I don’t use anchovies - Worcestershire sauce is already made with anchovies - so I found it redundant.

I love being told the original didn't have anchovies and then watch the restaurant that created it use anchovies. Thank you for confirming this for me

The story goes that poor chef Caesar had gotten his ass gained by hoards of guests, and these were the only thing he still had in his coolers.

[@petemichael4512]

It sounds similar to the origin story of Buffalo Wings.

[@Sully365]

@@petemichael4512 GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIOUS buffalo wings. one of my top 5 meals

[@grayforester]

​@@Sully365 Prior to the Buffalo Wing enterprise, chicken wings were cheap as cat food, because it was more trouble than it was worth to separate the edible part from the inedible part, which was substantial. Bartenders discovered that a drunk will do the work himself if he's hungry and doesn't want to leave his spot at the bar. That's the way that went down, with hot pepper sauce and bleu cheese dressing.

[@Sully365]

@@grayforester yep.. my grandparents had a farm and never did anything with the chicken wings... Too much trouble. Buffalo wings are still one of my top five favorite foods... I actually miss the 90s bojangles version

Note: I use to make table side in L.A. He used already minced garlic. If you don’t have. Take cloves and a bit of table salt and pulverize in the bottom of bowl using the salt as an abrasive. Brings out more of the garlic oils into the dish Vs your cutting board.

[@sandram2362]

Absolutely correct -that is the best way to eat fresh raw garlic...

Garlic clove, anchovy filet, and salt, pulverize

That is a great technique. Better with Kosher salt though & very little of it because anchovies are very salty already.

Having a nice roomy bowl like this is key to any salad. You are able to thoroughly dress all the greens with less wasted dressing. Salad dressing shouldnt be a condiment like catchup.

[@lordmonty9421]

[@KatzenjammerKid61]

I was taught how to make & serve this dish as a table side presentation when I was in chef's training by a very experienced front of the house instructor. The recipe uses a coddled egg (not raw) to build the dressing. The anchovy, or umami flavor if you will, originally just came from the Worcestershire sauce, anchovies or anchovy paste were added to the preparation in later years to boost the dish.

[@Submersed24]

I did this when I shifted through FOH in culinary school, and was able to tell the story of the origin to my table in the time it took me to make it. However, one Q - I've seen several sources say that anchovies were NOT in his original salad, but he used Worchestershire sauce, of which anchovies were an ingredient... so, when LA chefs were told of this, tried it and then tried to recreate it, added in the anchovies.... anyone have clarification on that part?
