Sour or Salad
When dining out, I usually have a Caesar salad, never giving it much thought as to who Caesar actually is or was. The Parmesan cheese was enough for me to deduce that Caesar must be Julius Caesar, the Roman Emperor.
Wrong!
It actually turns that the Caesar Salad was invented in Tijuana, Mexico during the Prohibition Era in the U.S. In the 1920's, alcohol and its consumption was outlawed by the United States govERnment, leading to many Speak Easy bars or other alternative means for acquiring booze such as moonshining.
For many in Southern California during Prohibition, Hotel Caesar in Tijuana, Mexico was the destination for some gambling and to throw back a few without the risk of being arrested. According to legend, on 4th of July 1924, during a rush of patrons, the restaurant ran out of most of its ingredients for making their dishes. The owner, Caesar Cardini, quickly improvised with what he had, and in order to make it seem normal but with a touch of class, he himself tossed the new creation in front of his unsuspecting dining guests. That day the patrons of Hotel Caesar were treated to the first ever Caesar Salad. It immediately became a hit then and continues to be a very popular salad today. After many years of being closed, Hotel Caesar has once again re-opened for some fine dining. Now You Know!
Thank you Mr. Caesar Cardini.
