This is why America is crumbling. Pants on while working with food? Absolutely unacceptable and it’s just part of the left handed agenda.

[@Sawbuck]

Yeah, there are less and less places doing tableside. And even more unfortunately, almost no one uses raw egg yolks anymore. There is but one resto that gets it pretty close pre-made near me, but pretty sure they use Mayo in place of the Eggs/oil. I know of absolutely no resto where they pre-make this dressing exactly and use it on the lettuce and bring it out. This recipe is simply the best there is. Every single person I made the "real" stuff for raves about it. I mean wide-eyed "WTF is this??" reaction. I found this originally on Epicurious , but strangly, they changed it from 2 yolks to 1 whole egg incl whites (not as good). And they call for added salt. That is NOT needed. If you like more salt, put in more Worst and/or Cheese and or Anchovies depending on which you like the best. I use more cheese and Worst. A somewhat bacteria mitigating measure is to wash the shells with soap before you start. If you have really fresh eggs, I understand most of the bacteria in an egg comes from the shell, but by no means should be taken as gospel, you are always risking when eating raw or undercooked food, even steak.

Back when I worked at a semi-fancy restaurant that shall remain nameless, we made a caesar salad fairly close to tradition, but instead of croutons we used crostini (efficient because many of our side dishes and appetizers used crostini), and we'd finish it with huge flakes of shaved parmesan. Tons of heterogeneity the likes of which I suspect would bring a tear to Adam's eye.

She passed in late 2021, and we've been unable to find her recipe. After watching this video, I'm convinced she used mayo as the base, adding mustard, anchovies, parm, black pepper, lemon, etc. She also used shredded parmesan instead of freshly grated, but after watching this video, I'd grate my cheese. Thanks for the video, Adam. I will try it this way and then compare it to my mom's recipe (which is probably an educated guess).

And its so much better that way. A nice medium or medium-well pork chop, way better than the sawdusty ones. Raw poultry is the only problematic one even today, but thats also mainly due to salmonella (same as with eggs).

I did this tableside in a upscale, small town restaurant in the mid Eighties, in southwest PA. We waiters prepared a lot of the ingredients ahead of time. We pre-washed and wrapped the romaine, lemons cut and wrapped in cheesecloth to catch the seeds, garlic pre-diced. We crushed the anchovies into the wooden bowl coated in olive oil first, then added the garlic, lemon juice and egg yolks. Pre-grated parm was last. Croutons were premade at the beginning of the shift, too. We also made bananas flambe tableside. AND, I had to wear the penguin suit, too. Good times. Much like the beginning of Anthony Bourdain's book. Decadent times.

Not one bit was dry.

[@sentientarugula2884]

Adam! Caesar salad is definitely more disputed then what you said. The family of Livio Santini, a kitchen worker, has still maintained to this day that Livio would make what became the Caesar salad from his mother's recipe when he got homesick, and Caesar Cardini simply told him to start serving it to customers. There is also a story that Mrs. Wallis Simpson, wife of King Edward VIII, forced Caesar to entertain her by serving it tableside.

The ingredients are disputed too, with some claiming the original had no added anchovies but did use Worcestershire sauce, which contains a tiny amount of anchovy.

There were many times I felt this way throughout, but the rough cut in the video immediately following a literal rough cutting of the lettuce at 9:20 really cemented the feeling for me. I want to call it... blunt? It's like you wrote shot and produced the video in accordance with the personality and characteristics of meal it was meant to represent. This is the Caesar Salad of informational cooking videos. Almost as if to say: "You think you're better than me for ordering and eating an entire head of lettuce for dinner?" -- "No, I know so. My body can comfortably sustain itself on a pile of oiled leaves. What's your excuse?"

The risk of eating raw eggs is overstated. Only 1:20,000 eggs carry salmonella, according to the CDC. I have regularly consumed raw eggs as part of traditional Japanese dishes for over 60 years. I have never suffered any ill effects. If you are concerned, raw eggs can be pasteurized. Serious Eats recommends to sous vide the eggs at 135°F for 90 min.

[@stentor1980]

I agree, but only if you bought them in their own shells. If the eggs are part of a product made in any sort of industrial facility they should be presumed to be contaminated unless the packaging specifically says it’s safe to eat raw. This goes the same for anything containing flour. Worth noting that these days most premade cookie doughs can be eaten raw, but you should still check.

Back when the Caesar was invented, chickens were not raised and processed in factory conditions that promoted contamination with salmonella. It was much more rare then and raw eggs were generally safer.

[@EebstertheGreat]

That is historically untrue. Chickens may have been farmed in a different manner, but eggs still had way higher rates of _Salmonella_ infection, as did people. This was a while after Typhoid Mary, and there were somewhat fewer human vectors comparatively, but animal vectors were still widespread in the food chain. One or two antibiotics like _arsphenamine_ had been discovered but they were ineffective against _Salmonella._ Also, poultry farms were unregulated at the time. The USDA did work to regulate the food and drug markets in general by making illegal adulterated or unsafe foods and drugs and performing some inspections and investigations, but only on a limited basis. Also also, eggs were not washed or refrigerated. There is just no way raw eggs were safer 100 years ago than they are today. People simply had a greater tolerance for risk.

He literally said it’s the 100 year anniversary of the salad’s invention.

@flippityflop6243 Yeah but that doesn't explain 3 creators all uploading a similar video within 24 hours of each other when the anniversary was July 4th, almost a month ago. We're commenting on the coincidence of it all, not being uninformed.

Staying at the Caesars hotel right this moment and just had a Caesar salad. Life changing salad.
