hotel cesars as the story goes and this story goes back several turns during the prohibition days of the 1920s born in Italy the chef Cesar Cardini moved from California to Tijuana to open a restaurant to avoid alcohol bans, and American establishments are now debating who created the salad. Cardini's daughter says it was him, others say it was his brother Alex and some believe it. He was actually an employee, the host here even tells us that Wallace Simpson and Prince Edward VIII, after visiting him in 1933, brought the recipe to England and thus inevitably made the salad famous around the world and Now I'm here to try it straight from the source.
