Insalate Cesare di Lidia
Notes: The antipasto for the evening was a white bean soup with fennel. We requested (and they kindly obliged) to swap a Caesar salad for us, instead. I've had this salad. It's great. The dressing (on the side) is not traditional - it's more vinegar and oil than gloppy and thick.
Lidia's Monday night "Tuscan Grill" is an incomparable steal.
For $35, each diner gets a set antipasto, an bottomless sampling of all three of the daily pastas, a choice of a main course (usually from a list of three or four - this time it was either steak, whole fish, or rack of lamb), a plate of assorted biscotti, two glasses of wine, and a glass of grappa. Beat that.
The standard "Caesar salad" legend credits the creation of the recipe to an Italian immigrant, Caesar Cardini, who operated a restaurant (or hotel and restaurant in some versions) in Tijuana. According to the canonical version, told by Caesar's daughter Rosa, he tossed the first Caesar's salad on the evening of July 4, 1924. The most detail I've been able to find on the supposed background of Caesar Cardini is in articles in the "Tulsa World" (July 9, 1997) by Rik Espinosa (whom I've also spoken to by phone), in "The Santa Fe New Mexican" (May 28, 1997) by Alan C. Taylor, and in the "Chicago Tribune" (July 23, 1987) by Peter Kump.
Caesar was born near Lago Maggiore, Italy, in 1896; he and his brother Alex emigrated to the U.S. after World War I. The Cardini's lived in San Diego but operated a restaurant in Tijuana to circumvent Prohibition. The canonical version claims that the restaurant was frequented by Hollywood stars such as Clarke Gable, Jean Harlow, and W.C. Fields; if this was ever the case, it isn't relevant to 1924, when Gable was a young unknown, Fields was still in vaudeville, and Jean Harlow was 13 years old.
The only person who actually claims to have dined at the restaurant is Julia Child, who, according to Paul Kump, said she was brought there by her parents and ate the salad at its source. After the repeal of Prohibition (1934) and the outlawing of casino gambling in Mexico (1935), the Cardini's sold the Tijuana restaurant and moved to the Los Angeles area. The restaurant still exists in Tijuana, though it has changed location a number of times.
In L.A. , the Cardini's are supposed to have sold a homemade version of their salad dressing from a store. In 1948, Caesar and Rosa began to commercially bottle the dressing, though because "Caesar salad" was in the public domain--which suggests it was pretty well-known--they could trademark only "Original Caesar's" and "Cardini". Rik Espinosa reports "Rosa told me that in 1953, the Paris-based International Society of Epicures called the Caesar's Salad [sic] the 'greatest recipe to originate from the America's in 50 years.'" (Allan C. Taylor gives as a source for the same information a public relations firm for the dressing manufacturer.) Caesar Cardini died in 1956.
There are also a number of non-canonical versions of the Cardini legend: according to Rik Espinosa, Paul Maggiora, a partner of the Cardini's, claimed to have tossed the first Caesar's salad in 1927 for American airmen from San Diego and called it "Aviator's Salad." (Maggiore and the two Cardini's were all veterans of the Italian air force during the war.) Paul Kump claims that Diana Kennedy (an oft-quoted authority on Mexican cooking) had met Alex Cardini in Mexico City before Alex's death in 1975, and that Alex claimed to have developed the salad (he too allegedly called it "aviator's salad"). (For those interested in the culinary details, Alex's version included anchovies, but that was not the way Caesar made it--in the canonical telling he got the fishy tang only from Worcestershire sauce.) Neal Matthews ("San Diego Union-Tribune", March 2, 1995) quotes one Livio Santini, an elderly resident of Tijuana, who claims he made the salad, from a recipe of his mother, in the kitchen of Caesar's restaurant when he was 18 years old, in 1925, and that Caesar took the recipe from him.
A totally heterodox origin for "Caesar salad" appears in the 3rd edition of "Webster's New World": "so named in honor of (Gaius) Julius Caesar by Giacomo Junia, Italian-American chef in Chicago, who invented it c. 1903." Journalists only bring this etymology up to heap scorn on it (demonstrating by the way their complete incomprehension of the meaning of "Webster" in dictionary titles.) Is anybody out there in Cleveland on ADS-L? Where did this etymology come from?
The documentation of the collocation "Caesar salad"/"Caesar's salad" is thin. The first cite Merriam has is from the "Britannica Book of the Year, 1950", from the article "Fads of 1949": "In foods, fads were limited. Caesar salad was in vogue through the summer and fall, and slot-machine hot dogs still prevailed in the larger cities" (pp. 273-74). There have to be earlier cites out there, even if only from 1949, when the salad was supposedly popular (suggesting it had been regional until then?).
The "Tulsa World" article includes an illustration from an old postcard of the Cardini restaurant in Tijuana; I'm hoping to get a copy of the postcard from Rik Espinosa, who owns the original. This would at least document, to my personal satisfaction, the existence of the restaurant at one of its locations. (Espinosa, who grew up in southern California, and whose grandparents owned a hotel in Tijuana two blocks from the legendary restaurant, is a font of knowledge on Caesar salad lore and the Cardini's, not to mention Tijuana.)

ODC1: ALL WRAPPED UP
After chatting to fellow passenger at bus stop (in rather broken German with lots of smiles and some hand waving) we boarded the free bus at Krippen.
This took us nearly all the way to Schmilka and went round lots of back ways, which was fun as it gave us chance to have a nose.
We even got chance to practice German again as the bus filled and some fellow walkers asked a question - this time we were rescued by a German speaker coming to their aide as we had to confess we didn't follow the question.
But it was nice to be in an area where we needed to get by without resorting to the expectation that there would be someone who could speak English.

Little Caesars
15482 Warwick Boulevard, Suite A2, Newport News, VA
Opened October 9th, 2020; originally part of Twin B Auto Parts (August 1988-1994), later Dairy Queen (September 16th, 1995-April 2017)
After only a year spent operating in the Hidenwood area, Tidewater Pie decided to move this Little Caesars further up Warwick Boulevard near Denbigh and the Fort Eustis base, taking over the old Dairy Queen space (at least half of it, since I can't tell how they're utilizing the left part of the building with covered windows). The decision seems solely based on the fact that the building has a drive-thru, which I guess wasn't a huge deal breaker when they originally opened in the old florist shop last year but is vital now that you have a lot of customers unwilling to go inside certain businesses. After all, this part of Newport News didn't necessarily need a Little Caesars, as the unaffiliated Jefferson Crossing location already has 'em covered, but even then the pizza chain had a location right across the street from here in the old Rack & Sack shopping center back in the 90s, so it's sort of a return! Also, this new location is directly next to Chanello's, which is a total non-issue because an employee there actually came here to pick up lunch during my visit!

Not the most distinct of summits - guided by Ken's GPS :-)

This one isn't on Hill Bagging which is what Nicky recorded her summits on - yesterday there was one extra, today Nicky only recorded three of our six summits on the hill bagging site, Summits can be very much a matter of opinion.
