Slow Economy Dooms The Home Of The Caesar Salad

Filed under: Dining

The simple restaurant that spawned a million lunches has closed down. The AP reports that Caesar's in Tijuana, Mexico, the restaurant famous for popularizing the Caesar salad has closed down. Casar's restaurant shut down this week, a victim of the tourism decline in Mexico. The restaurant wasn't the original place where the Caesar salad was invented but had ties to the older restaurant that created the salad in the 1920s. Caesar's made a traditional version of the salad but could not survive in this economy and the restaurant was evicted for not paying the rent. The AP says that the Restaurant Moderno in Piedras Negras, the reputed birthplace of the nacho also closed this summer.
