TikTok has anointed a Ceasar salad, fries and a martini as the “it girl” meal, and truly that is a correct take.
At a recent happy hour for the Food team, someone proposed a fun icebreaker-type exercise: If you were opening a restaurant that served only one food and one beverage, what would they be?and martinis. I even came up with a name, on the spot, for my imaginary, probably-destined-for-failure establishment — Dirty Potato. If I had been allowed, though, a second food item on the menu , I would have said Caesar salads.
Especially when it comes to the Caesar — when it’s good, it’s great. Leo’s thoughtful version adds radicchio to the romaine lettuce for bitterness, and toasted breadcrumbs take the place of unwieldy croutons. But you can find reasonable iterations at even the most humble restaurants.The combo also has the benefit of being relatively inexpensive, compared to a typical entree or even a couple of appetizers.
The Big Three can feel celebratory, something you might indulge in after hitting a deadline at work. Or it can inject a little fun into the mundane. So the only question about this elite pairing is not whether it is worth trying. No, we’re left to contemplate which suits the endeavor best: a dirty martini or a dry one? Scalabrino suggests a drier version with a twist of lemon — “it’s citrus-forward for a little contrast.” I tried his suggestion and liked it, but I’m sticking with my brine-laced usual order.
