What’s cooking

We can’t think of a salad more storied than the Caesar, so we’ve honored it with our own interpretation. When testing this recipe, our staff couldn’t get enough! Chicken is marinated only briefly, but plenty of lemon juice makes the meat incredibly tender. Our dressing is light, garlicky, and full of cheese—no anchovy or egg, but just as punchy in flavor.
