Best Caesar Salad

  • Millesime

    92 Madison Ave., at 29th St. 212-889-7100

    There’s some debate over who invented this outré take on the Tijuana-born classic: It was either Eric Ripert or his ami Laurent Manrique, depending on which Michelin-starred Frenchman you ask.

Not a Caesar as we might know it, but a deluxe interpretation. Great minds must think alike.
