Quoted from o-din:Caesar Cardini
Caesar created his famous salad in Acapulco. He was a Chef in some Hotel. Some Hollywood people arrived late for dinner, as their flight was delayed. Caesar famously used what was remaining in the kitchen, to serve the VIP's.
On a side note, in Canada if you ask for a Caesar you are going to get a spicy Vodka drink mixed with Clamato Juice.... Quite tasty indeed.
