    I am SO glad that Kenji (a high profile chef) finally addressed the glove issue. When California passed their glove law a few years ago, I tried telling people this. People think gloves equals automatic clean, but that is not the case. I watched the best cooks on my line, who would wash their hands almost constantly, use the same gloves for almost an entire shift.
    Gloves need to be changed as frequently as hands need to be washed when cooking.

      Plus those gloves are NOT sterile! (or even clean). In fact some of those factories in Indonesia and elsewhere are disgusting!

Then there is the pat dry method. Again, it works ok but you have to have clean towels available. I guess paper towel works, I don't really do paper towel as I find it wasteful.

    You are the absolute best, Kenji. And I don’t say that about a lot of chefs. I’m a low key, non-pro home chef that loves to cook, create and inspire others into doing the same thing. Cooking (but not so much baking, which I do) give me so much joy and satisfaction in my life. I’ve been cooking, whether I was allowed to or not, since I was 9 years old. I know that it sounds like an autobiography for myself right now, but I honestly just want you to know about me before I say this. You are, HANDS DOWN, the BEST and most modest chef I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading about, following and being able to but their books and actually ENJOY reading them and cook their recipes. It’s like I’m right there in the kitchen with you.
    Trust me, I’m a food porn veteran, but I quit watching the stuff and just love to learn through people like you. So thank you for this delicious Caesar dressing, which I’ve made many times, and will continue to do so. I have almost 100 cookbooks and yours is still my favorite. I tell my BF that my lifelong dream is too cook alongside you, or at least to share a meal.
    P.S.
    Don’t be surprised if I post on my other favorites of yours. I just typically don’t comment very often. Thank you for all that you do!!

    Pro Tip: when preparing the 'coddled egg' version, coddle the garlic cloves along with the egg and you'll be surprised how easily they go through the garlic press. Alternatively, it's much more easily smashed with a fork in a traditional wooden salad bowl than a raw garlic clove. BUT...and here's the *main* reason...a quick parboil softens and mellows the otherwise raw, pungent garlic bite.

    Yes to Tijuana.
    Caesar Cardini was not a fan of anchovies in this salad but it is interesting to note that in later years he did include them on request.
    The big mistake folks make of course, (for a classic Caesar) is just laying them on the salad as opposed to incorporating them into the dressing. Might be a beautiful mistake though...I eat them from the tin!
    Caesar of course prepared this tableside. I am told that they were crushed into the egg yolk.
    Julia may have been the only professional first hand account of Cardini preparing the salad and even so she was just a teen when she witnessed it.

    Yo Chef! One of our favorite meals lately has been a homemade caesar, your incredible crispy roasted potatoes, and a steak or some other fairly rich protein. It feels like a treat, is super delicious, and pretty affordable! Cheers everyone!

    Hi Kenji. Love this recipe. Love all of your recipes, really.
    If I were you, I would have a jar with spoons and forks in it near your cutting board so that you can taste things as you are cooking.
    You rock.☺️

    So #1 made some ceasar salad today and it was good, but I think my garlic was too strong, but there is always tomorrow to adjust. #2 I cannot stress enough how important those deli containers are however. Cant really stack the other brands or even the glass brands... plus if you lose a lid... there are only about 50 leftover because you buy them in a massive sleeve. They are life changing for storage and I have no idea why this isn't like a massively known thing for home cooks (or I was just conned into thinking it wasn't great then I got them and they are glorious).
