THE ORIGIN OF CAESAR SALAD:
Caesar salad was created on the 4th of July weekend of 1924,
according to the Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink. Cesare
Cardini, an Italian immigrant to San Diego, decided to open a restaurant
in Tijuana, Mexico, to avoid the harsh Prohibition laws. The dish was
originally known as Aviator's Salad in honor of pilots from the nearby
Rockwell Field Air Base in San Diego.
Cesare himself frowned on Alex Cardini's idea of adding anchovies to
the salad, claiming that his vision was to make the salad subtle, which
anchovies certainly aren't. Caesar salad is now served in hotels and
restaurants all over the United States and the world, and it is frequently
enhanced with additional ingredients such as chicken and shrimp.
