Another adventure of Flying Dutchman & travel journalist Andreas van der Schaaf. In my TV Series “First Class Around the World” (1994-1997)I visited Key Biscayne in Florida where at Stefano’s, Stefano himself prepared the Original Caesar Salad. The One and only! For all of your chefs and sous chefs to know now world wide,,this is the ONE..like Caesar Cardini used to make. He and his brother Alessandro created this world famous recipe in their hotel-restaurant in Tijuana.
Just follow Stefano and you have the original..without bacon bits, chicken and ‘whole’ ansjofish..nooo….this one is it ! Some write Caesar (the right ones) and others write Ceasar..anyway gazpacho is also different from carpaccio…but Caesar Salad should be like this.
I developed quite an appetite and for that there is an absolute hotspot key biscayne where maestro Stefano himself started preparing his original Caesar salad for me and where mr. Smith neighbor cook incidentally was blitzed into being my partner yes news travels fast here on Key Biscayne now we start
To get to the end show we will add them so I thought you gotta enjoy are already salty most of the young great they have to throw extra port and then a little bit more seasoning we had a little bit of Worcestershire I can see you know
This our people only for special yes this one special guest out to my to start with there’s allowed to have to empty the puree we take a lemon and then either raw eggs Olive Oyl it’s even better now with the choir in factories you know providing us
Together now because this is the romaine salad yes I have ready semester already Choptank course just a picture then enough for two people after this we had the fresh crouton I heard that the fresh croutons are made from old bread absolutely that is is the the bread of the day before right here’s
Cut them pieces and dice yeah cooked in the oven with a little bit of butter and garlic and ER then they let them dry they are called after the crouton with Parmesan cheese we’re on to now closer than strategy this is truly is the recipe of a Caesar

the Original Recipe did not have Anchovy. that was added later by Caesar or by someone else….as per Julia Child whom spoke at length with Caesar's daughter.
The lounge music in the background is funny!
Yes. I haven't had a decent Caesar salad since I moved from San Diego & moved to the East Coast.
All they serve here is a creamy version.
How about that "tool" who felt he had to inspect the lettuce. HANDS OFF. ……i'd have spanked him right there.
Oh how delicious! The original recipe. No mayo.
have to agree with Peter, no garlic bits, no anchovies.
Cardini did NOT use anchovies. EVER. I learned the recipe from Julia Child who learned it from Cardini.
Also no Worcestershire sauce. The Hotel added it after Caesar had Passed.
That dude seemed like a POS; but the salad looked good. I'd get it with no anchovies though.
Cesar salad: born in Tijuana, Mexico.
Caesar Cardini (also known as Cesare Cardini, February 24, 1896 – November 3, 1956) was an Italian Mexican American restaurateur, chef, and hotel owner who, along with his brother Alex Cardini (November 23, 1899 – December 22, 1974), is credited with creating the Caesar salad
History
he salad's creation is generally attributed to restaurateur Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant who operated restaurants in Mexico and the United States. Cardini was living in San Diego but he was also working in Tijuana where he avoided the restrictions of Prohibition. His daughter Rosa (1928–2003) recounted that her father invented the salad when a Fourth of July 1924 rush depleted the kitchen's supplies. Cardini made do with what he had, adding the dramatic flair of the table-side tossing "by the chef." A number of Cardini's staff have said that they invented the dish.
Julia Child said that she had eaten a Caesar salad at Cardini's restaurant when she was a child in the 1920s.[7] In 1946, newspaper columnist Dorothy Kilgallen wrote of a Caesar containing anchovies, differing from Cardini's version:
The big food rage in Hollywood—the Caesar salad—will be introduced to New Yorkers by Gilmore's Steak House. It's an intricate concoction that takes ages to prepare and contains (zowie!) lots of garlic, raw or slightly coddled eggs, croutons, romaine, anchovies, parmeasan [sic] cheese, olive oil, vinegar and plenty of black pepper.
Recipe
According to Rosa Cardini, the original Caesar salad (unlike his brother Alex's Aviator's salad) did not contain pieces of anchovy; the slight anchovy flavor comes from the Worcestershire sauce. Cardini was opposed to using anchovies in his salad.
In the 1970s, Cardini's daughter said that the original recipe included whole lettuce leaves, which were meant to be lifted by the stem and eaten with the fingers; coddled eggs; and Italian olive oil.
Bottled Caesar dressings are now produced and marketed by many companies.
The trademark brands, "Cardini's", "Caesar Cardini's" and "The Original Caesar Dressing" are all claimed to date to February 1950, though they were only registered decades later, and more than a dozen varieties of bottled Cardini's dressing are available today, with various ingredients.
Many variations of the salad exist; for example, by topping a Caesar salad with grilled chicken, steak, or seafood. Certain Mexican restaurants may improvise on items such as substituting tortilla strips for croutons or Cotija cheese for the Parmesan.
Seems like a nice place until I saw powdered cheese being put in the salad,no fresh grated cheese…???
Stuck up ass in the background inspecting every step… gtfo, you're ordering it…
Pathetic excuse; by the way, don’t fondle the romaine you idiot!
Missing horseradish and red wine vinegar!! One might be curious, by all means ask questions, but please refrain from hand touching any ingredient.
Anchovies were not a part of the original Caesar salad….
It smells divine.
haaaaaaaaa that damn song.
Looks like a life or death situation when someone takes off with the lettuce… 2:10
I love how serious Stefano is…He ignores the interviewers question to focus on his salad.
Italian-American restaurateur Caesar Cardini invented the salad in 1924 in Tijuana, Mexico. Cardini owned a restaurant in the tourist destination to "attract Americans frustrated by Prohibition." The exact story is disputed, but the general consensus is that over Fourth of July weekend, Cardini threw together a bunch of ingredients he had on hand and served his concoction to his friends.
The original recipe included "romaine, garlic, croutons, and Parmesan cheese, boiled eggs, olive oil and Worcestershire sauce." Supposedly Cardini's brother, Alex, came to Tijuana in 1926 and added anchovies to the salad. He called his version the "Aviator's salad." What's Cooking America says that this version was so well-received that it became the standard and was renamed the "Caesar salad."
In 1953, the International Society of Epicure declared the classic salad, which by then was popular in Europe, "the greatest recipe to originate from the Americas in 50 years.
Gotta love the grabbing of the lettuce and the impatient hand waving.
The original cesear Salad is from Tijuana Mexico.
Cesear Cardini Salad or the Aviator Salad

Instead of anchovies you should use Worcestershire sauce.
