There are a number of different versions of the origin of the venerable Caesar salad. My own discovery of the Caesar salad was in the 1980s at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. I was being wined and dined at one of the casino’s high-end restaurants at the time, where the waiter prepared and tossed the Caesar salad at the tableside.
