The original Caesar salad has been made this way for 100 years in Tijuana
LA TimesThe original Caesar salad, from Hotel Caesar on Avenida Revolucion in Tijuana, where it was invented. On it sit all the elements required to prepare a beloved salad that was invented right here, according to the lore, at the restaurant inside the Hotel Caesar in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. In 2010, then-rising Tijuana star Plascencia took control of the restaurant and reignited the tableside preparation ritual for the Caesar salad, rekindling a local love for it. “All tableside.” Diners at the restaurant at the Hotel Caesar in Tijuana have fallen in love with the tableside preparation of Caesar salad, created by Caesar Cardini in 1924. Plascencia tells me the restaurant plans a festival to honor the Caesar salad’s centennial around July 4.
