4 Levels of Caesar Salad: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious

We challenged chefs of three different skill levels – amateur John, home cook Daniel, and professional chef Saúl Montiel from Cantina Rooftop – to make us their best caesar salad. Once each level of chef had presented their creations, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way. Which caesar salad makes you want to ask “Et tu, crouton?”
