Dining out with Baby Bee is no easy task. Child-friendly restaurants have to be picked with as much discrimination as you would organic ingredients for your home-cooked meals. From the outside, the popular San Francisco establishment Zuni Cafe seems like a stiff city joint, but inside it was as homey and earthy as it's dishes and it's service. Baby Bee defintely gives it his thumbs up!
Here's my version of the famous
Zuni Cafe Caesar Salad
2 to 3 heads romaine lettuce
2 eggs
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2/3 cup mild-tasting olive oil
3 cloves garlic chopped
1tsp worcestershire sauce
juice of 1 lemon
salt
pepper
1 c garted Parmigiano
6 to 9 anchovy fillets
Whisk first 8 ingredients in a bowl, starting off with the eggs as your base. Once thick, toss the dressing with the chopped lettuce. Mix in the chopped anchovy fillets. Mix the parmesan cheese. Serve as is for go for the kill with applewood smoked bacon bits and croutons.
Note: Of the million or so versions of caesar salad I've eaten, and enjoyed, for some reason, the Zuni Cafe's caesar salad recipe is the one I choose to replicate in my home. I tell you, it's damn good, and it has a bite to it like no other! Hail Caesar!
