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.

Actually there were plenty of other Caesars the salad could have been named after.

He had his restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico, so the salad is technically Mexican 😅

Heh. I was thinking of the countless First Citizens of Rome.
But yes, according to Wikipedia, Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant to Mexico, opened a restaurant in Tijuana, aptly named Caesar’s, and the salad was one of the specials created there.
And that’s news to me. As a kid, I was told the creation of Caesar Salad was commissioned by Caesar’s Palace, a (once) well-known casino in Las Vegas.
