Welcome to Let it be easy with Susie Moore.

Okay, you have to forgive me if I pronounce any names wrong.

In today's episode.

I tell you, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole trying to understand the origin of the Caesar salad. Now my friends, if you did not

know this, there are people who disagree as to how the Caesar salad came to be. Now, I think we all know the good old

Caesar salad is this global staple. They're so popular, they're available almost anywhere you go. It's, oh my gosh, is it not probably the most popular salad at least from my experience, no matter where you head out to eat and I recently bought a

Caesar dressing and it said Caesar Caldini the origin the founder of the Caesar Caesar

Caldini, the origin, the founder of the Caesar salad. And I was like, oh, so he sounds Italian, but then a friend of mine

told me a couple of years ago that the Caesar salad actually originated in Mexico, hence my research.

So from what I gather, and there is a point here, my friend, stick with me, okay?

There was an Italian American working in Tijuana in Mexico. His name was

Caesar Caldini, I think that's how you pronounce it, and during a 4th of July weekend he had a huge influx of people to

his restaurant and he ran out of ingredients. Right, that nightmare feeling, oh my gosh, I don't have enough. This is a moment of panic.

So apparently, table side, he mixed together what it was, what it was that he did have, Romain lettuce and

crutons, Worcestershire sauce, gosh what goes into a season dressing, I don't even know,

eggs.

And the Caesar salad was born.

As legend goes, so it's 100 years old, as of this year because that was in 1924 and it was by a restaurateur who ran out of ingredients.

Hence the most popular delicious salad my friends is born.

Now what is the moral of the story here?

Why tell this? Why share this, why reflect on this.

A couple of very important reasons.
