Caesar Salad

Caesar Salad all looks similar so I'm not putting a picture here (Maybe I'll change my mind later.. :P) but they taste so differently.
The best Caesar Salad that I have had is at El Gaucho Restaurant and I found this recipe online. It's definitely what I've seen at the restaurant of how they did it and taste really great!

from El Gaucho Restaurant
Chef Ken Sharp
