Hint - it existed long before they claim it did. I have found similar recipes for dressing going back hundreds of years.

Also what's with the lazy restauranteurs allowing their employees to serve lettuce without even chopping it? That's a deal breaker for me, if I am expected to chop the lettuce myself I'm ordering tap water only and no food and never ever EVER going back lol.

A classic Caesar uses whole leaves; the dish was originally meant to be eaten with hands. You can have whatever preferences you like, but I don't think the attitude you're expressing it with is helpful.

Same energy as complaining their pizza and steak isn’t cut for them.

Some people are hungry so they want it cut into more slices.

Sure, the enjoyment of food involves etiquette and aesthetics. When I learned to cook (from my mom), she said that a knife should never enter the salad plate, and if it does, the cook should be embarrassed.

Of course I'm influenced by that lesson, even though it's perfectly arbitrary and I don't always follow it myself, nor do I complain if it's not strictly adhered to.

I'm curious about these similar dressing recipes as I've found nothing similar enough to call them the same thing.

I've seen plenty of anchovy/mustard/aioli dressings that one might call predecessors, but they lack the egg yolks, parmigiano reggiano and Worcestershire sauce, so they would not taste like Caesar salad dressing.

Please share.
