Caesar Salad and Satan's Playground

Caesar salad's tangy dressing on romaine lettuce has a history as rich as a coddled egg, involving multiple nations, a bevy of movie stars, an infamous American divorcee, a disputed origin story, and, prominently, alcohol. And surprisingly... is unrelated to the notorious Roman dictator. Join The History Guy for this snippet of forgotten history and be sure to subscribe for more.

[@trombone113]

Thank you so much for this, History Guy. As a young Marine stationed in Camp Pendleton in the late 80's, I found my way into TJ about twice a month. And Ceasars makes the famous salad all day long fresh at several points among the tables. And yes, getting it made fresh in front of you does seem to make them taste better. Especially when they aren't counting the croutons. But TJ for a young 19 year old Marine is pure fun and excitement, great food, a great place to get fantastic deals on everything you don't need and pure debauchery. But since I was able to get and send my ma a liter of 35% alcohol vanilla for $2.00 (the postage cost more) Within a month it got returned in the form of cookies and cakes, making me quite popular. That troublemaker kid in class that never seemed to get in trouble. But what else was cheap was alcohol. And when the option was 3.2 beer at the E club on base, it was worth the 67 mile, one hour drive. Yes, that's fast as that was from the front gate. And since there was a curfew from midnight until 6 in the morning, it also meant an overnight visit or getting arrested by shore patrol. But regardless, I had to be back early on Sunday for mass as our master sergeant would treat everyone to breakfast a Neiman's but only if you could tell him what the priest's sermon was. He never forced it. But free all you can eat breakfast sure went down good after a Saturday and Saturnight of partying. Then it was time to walk to the Sandbar Cafe' for a drink and then the drive to Del Mar to play the ponies. And every once in a while you would meet up with the priest from mass there too. But Mondays were always really rough because a friend of mine and I would meet our commanding officer at Jerry's Card Club for Sunday night Jam at Jerry's where we all had instruments, me on trombone, and we would close the bar at 0200. They discovered fast my preference for good scotch and ten minutes after I would sit down on stage a bottle of Chivas Regal would be brought up for me to nurse all night. I never saw a bill. None of us did. They made plenty of money on Sunday night with professional musicians playing for free. After I had finally let my ma know how my weekends went, she said like father like son. My dad had been stationed in San Diego when he was in. She said he fought and lost the Korean war in Tijuana, Mexico and I believed every word of it. And after we got back from Desert Storm, we went right back to Jerry's and TJ. Good times. I lived every single day as it was my last. And despite sometimes getting in trouble, I would not change a thing. Mainly because I learned quick the more fun I had the more it cost me. So I always made damn sure to have as much fun as I could. And that included taking out instruments to TJ and playing on the street with all the locals. But we always made damn sure to have at least one guy who spoke spanish.. And it wasn't hard as half the unit had english as a second language. I often wonder how I was able to do it all in 4 very short years. Great video !!!

At your mention of George L Herter I burst out laughing. As a self promotor, a salesman, and innovator, he knew very few equals. As a reliable source of history, well, never let the truth get in the way of a good story. I have his cook books and they are a great read, keeping in mind that they were written in a different age. The recipes are pretty darn good, the stories are great.

I have a copy, History Guy is sorta wrong, It is called Bull Cook and Authentic Historical Recipes and Practices. Untill recently his sporting goods store was still open in Waseca, Minnesota.

George Herter founded Herter's, an outdoor store in Waseca, Minnesota. George Herter sent his son, Jacques (as I recall the name) hunting all over the planet for trophy animals, which they would then display in their showroom. I remember well the cookbook that THG refers to. Most hunters and fishermen in the 1960s and 1970s would be familiar with the sales catalog. Herter's was the Bass Pro Shop meets Cabela's of the day. I met the man once.

[@larrymanning5925]

I'm in my late... 40s now but when I was young I used to make table side ceaser salads at Bernard's surf in Cocoa Beach. I think a lot of astronauts used to eat there. They where awesome and got me loving Ceasars. My favorite by far is a blackened chicken Ceasar. At Bernard's they used left over bread for the croutons which you would think gross, but they where excellent. All I did table side really was make the dressing and toss it all. Was a very good salad!

[@kendavis8046]

Your mention of "extravagance" made me recall a time when my wife confirmed she was pregnant with our first child. We took a trip to Reno, perhaps not the most romantic of destinations, but we were interested in visiting the various nearby tourist traps. The "extravagant" meal that we had was also prepared at table side, Streak Dianne. It was fun, and I have actually prepared it a couple of times at home over the ensuing decades. Make sure you have you vent hood on high when you ignite the brandy! Side note - this is twice in two days that I have seen a reference to Caesar Salad. So you can bet that I am catching the hint, and I think the romaine served to be eaten by hand is a wonderful idea.

Fantastic video. I've gotten into arguments with multiple people who insist that "true" Caesar Salads do have anchovies and don't have tomatoes, even though my tastes prefer the opposites. You may not have helped me advocate for tomatoes, but I think showing that anchovies were not a part of the original recipe is enough to demonstrate that those people may be just making the salad to their tastes just as much as I am. Thanks! haha

Never heard of the alternate stories but when the Navy sent me to San Diego in the early 80's I learned of the strange 'new' salad and I made it just as it was printed in The Joy of Cooking. You gotta have the raw egg and chovies. Not sure if it has changed but there is no min drinking age in TJ so they lowered the age in base clubs to keep young sailors from going south for a margarita and getting mugged.
