Caesar Unraveled: Prohibition, Tijuana, and the Salad That Conquered the World

Trace the real origin of the Caesar salad from Cesar Cardini’s improvised 1924 dish in Prohibition‑era Tijuana to today’s global staple. We separate myth from fact—anchovies or not?—and follow its journey through Hollywood, a Paris prize, and a 1990s revival, plus endless variations on menus and delivery apps. A meditation on authenticity, innovation, and how a simple salad reveals culture’s appetite for change.
