His name was Caesar Cardini. He was an Italian restaurateur and hotelier who moved to the US for work and eventually opened his restaurant in Tijuana largely in response to American Prohibition.

Excuse me the Caesar is the greatest cocktail ever to be made. A true pinnacle of Canadian ingenuity.

How dare you insult the Bloody Mary. Don't go into the bathroom with the lights off. She's coming for you

Not really.

It's actually the English "Caesar". The founders of the OG bar & recipe were Italian but Tijuana has always been a bilingual town, so instead of the Italian Cesare or the Spanish César the official name is literally just the English version.

Now, the Latin <ˈkae̯sar> is absolutely the origin of the Italian Cesare with such a well documented evolution that for our purposes it is the same name but with a modernized pronunciation. In Italy (& Mexico's César) the name made a huge comeback in the XX century but we cannot deny that is Julius (and their tyrannical parasocial followers) who made his cogname as famous as it is.

Extra dato curioso para los lenguados 👅 vivo en Tijuana y nadie dice "seizar", literal cada restaurancito que tiene la misma receta escriben el nombre anglosajón en sus respectivos menús. Definitivamente vas a toparte con quienes la conocen exclusivamente como ensalada César pero sólo porque no conocen la historia (story, not history) y/o porque lo ven como una chicanada/pochismo. But that's not here nor there.

In fact, it's named after another guy. I think it was an Italian immigrant to the US or something, look it up if you dare to.

No. They are all the same guy.

Its ironic to describe this procedure like that when it's actually much less violent and traumatic for parent and baby than the natural method.

Stabbed once, in the gut. Lies screaming in the street for 14 hours. Dying. Nobody comes to help. Finally dies. They pick the carcass up in a freezer truck.

Salad.

I might also eat a Miller salad if it were the right occasion.

Have you tried one? It’s pretty good. It’s got mini pickles, mini wieners, hush money puppies, some and Im peaches topped with saffron and gold flakes. It’s what they serve at the grand estoria hotel to any guest who says “pardon” about themselves.

Elon has more money.

Crassus was the one with money who gave it to Caesar. Crassus was not stabbed, I think he was stabbing Caesar too.

Caesar is hard to compare with people today. He was an elite but was also different from them. Like he was incredibly popular with the military because, in addition to being a respected commander who led his legions to success, he also took the controversial position of "hey maybe we should honour the promises we made to those who signed up to fight for our former republic rather than use beaurocracy and the Senate to weasel out of it and fuck them over", which was very unpopular with the wealthy landowners that either wanted the land themselves or just didn't want more competition.

The assassins complained about the dictatorship becoming permanent but I think it was the land thing that really drove them because Augustus continued on to become the actual first emperor of Rome (and also ended up pushing through Caesar's land distribution reforms once he secured his power anyways, though that could have just been pragmatic for both of them, since an unhappy military is how Caesar was able to do his coup in the first place).
