In fact, it's named after another guy. I think it was an Italian immigrant to the US or something, look it up if you dare to.

    Heh. I was thinking of the countless First Citizens of Rome.

    But yes, according to Wikipedia, Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant to Mexico, opened a restaurant in Tijuana, aptly named Caesar's, and the salad was one of the specials created there.

    And that's news to me. As a kid, I was told the creation of Caesar Salad was commissioned by Caesar's Palace, a (once) well-known casino in Las Vegas.
