Caesar Salad

The good news is I've had caeser salad 10 of the last 14 days.

The bad news is I've had caesar salad 10 of the last 14 days. I've reached my limit.

On the bright side, I now know what makes a good caeser vs what makes a bad one. Here's the list:

• Microplaned Parmesan cheese is bullshit. Prepackaged shreds are even worse. Don't give me this crap, I want shaved sheets of parm that almost melt in the mouth. Make them almost too big to fit on a fork. Make them something to strive for in the salad, not something that gets lost amongst everything else.
• Anchovies must be in the dressing. Otherwise it's lettuce with badly made ranch. It's all well and good to have a taste of garlic and a hint of lemon, but if there isn't a whiff of Anchovy, you have failed.
• Three crossed anchovies on top of the salad is bullshit. Chop those little suckers up into half inch long hunks. Toss them in with the rest. If someone says they don't like anchovies then don't serve them caeser salad
• Diced crutons are bullshit. Croutons must be hand torn and chunky. Make them the only thing that fits on the fork. Don't be wimpy with them.
• Romaine Need I say more. And cut it dammit.

This is basically my worst nightmare
