Caesar Salad for the Gods
Some of my fondest childhood memories was getting to eat at Harrah’s Casino Steakhouse in Reno. The tableside Caesar Salad was always a highlight of each visit. It felt so noble to have a salad prepared in the moment just for our table! This recipe is adapted from a card given to me when I was about 15 years old by the dining room captain who made our salad that evening.
