Discovering Napoleon's Steak and Seafood House Caesar Salad.
Nestled in the heart of Burlington, Napoleon’s Steak & Seafood House has been a culinary landmark since 1985. Known for its impeccable service and mouth-watering dishes, one menu item stands out among the rest: their renowned Caesar salad. This salad isn’t just any Caesar salad; it’s a legendary dish with a big secret that has kept customers coming back for decades.
The Origins of the Caesar Salad
Before delving into the mystery behind Napoleon’s famed Caesar salad, it’s essential to understand the origins of this iconic dish. The Caesar salad was invented 100 years ago on July 4, 1924, by Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant. Cardini owned a restaurant called Caesar’s Place in Tijuana, Mexico. On a busy Fourth of July weekend, he found himself short on supplies and decided to whip up a simple salad with the ingredients he had on hand. The result was a hit among his patrons, and thus, the Caesar salad was born.
Cardini’s original recipe was straightforward: romaine lettuce, garlic, croutons, Parmesan cheese, boiled eggs, olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Over the years, the salad has seen numerous variations, but the essence of Cardini’s creation remains a staple in restaurants worldwide.
