"Name a Salad After Me."

Adam Ellis's cartoon brought a smile to my face.

While it might seem logical to associate the Caesar salad with the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, its origins trace back to Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant running a restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico.

If we turn the clock back over 2,000 years, we encounter various interpretations of Julius Caesar's final words. Perhaps the most renowned is the Shakespearian phrase that Caesar may have uttered to Lucius Junius Brutus: "Et tu, Brute?"
