You're right it is name not after Julius Caesar but Caesar Cardini. I didn't know that and I didn't know that my "dream girl", Salma Hayek is originally from Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico and not Tijuana as you mentioned earlier. You learn a lot from Yahoo Answers (shameless plug).

Because Caesar is an Italian name and it comes with an Italian type of dressing. Has other Italian items, the parm cheese and Italian olive oil.
Caesar salad is a salad of romaine lettuce and croutons dressed with Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper, originally prepared tableside. Caesar Cardini, who ran restaurants in Tijuana, Mexico, in the 1920s-1940s, is commonly credited as the inventor

Because the salad's creator Ceasar Cardini was Italian.
Who ever heard of Italians in Mexico?
Also, Carlos Santana is not from TJ.

No donkey shows in Tijuana. Classical landscaping probably came from France. Check wikipedia.

Not true! I have a jacket and several purses that came from TJ.
Also it's Salma Hayek. And Cesar salad. It's people that spell it like the Romans that make other people think it's italian.

They think because Julius Caesar, and Caesar Augustus were emperors of Rome, which was located on the Italian peninsula, it is Italian.

I've always thought that Caesar salad is so named because Julius Caesar loved to eat it when he was alive. OMG i'm such a bimbo...
