My favorite NYC Caesar used to be at Coppola's on the UWS (now closed). The key was that they served it on a chilled plate (and the lettuce was cold)- the perfect touch! Also, if you're into more creative Caesar salad riffs: from NYT Cooking, try Kenji Lopez-Alt's Fried Shallot Caesar and Jerelle Guy's Parmesan-Crusted Salmon Caesar- both delicious and fun!

Omg thank you for the inclusion!! Also I *adore* caesar salads — and agree the Westville one is an abomination — so this it's an honor to be included in this Substack all around

Impressive dissertation when considering the data visualization in the mix

Thank you for the "f*ck boy phase" in the chart. I would also suggest the caesar at Panera, if only so you could add it to your abomination list.

I haven’t had the Panera Caesar in a decade! I always go for the Napa almond chicken salad sandwich. I’ll have to review the Caesar next time I visit :)

Love this, there is truly no better meal than a Caesar and a martini. Will need to try that Diner combination!
