The Caesar looks Italian, tastes Italian and was born in a Mexican kitchen emergency

  • Caesar Cardini created the Caesar salad on July 4, 1924, in a nearly empty kitchen in Mexico during a busy weekend when Prohibition was not enforced there.
  • The salad was made by an Italian immigrant in Mexico and is viewed by most diners as neither solely Italian nor Mexican, reflecting its unique hybrid origin.
  • Cardini's Italian heritage influenced every ingredient in the salad, which has a name giving it a Roman association.
  • The Caesar salad is a lasting culinary hybrid that cannot be claimed exclusively by Italy, Mexico, Hollywood, or American steakhouses.
