Could've just went for Cesar salad too

Julius Caesar -> Title of Caesar -> Title of Kaiser -> An Italian guy named Cesare -> A salad made in Mexico

They likely tossed out that idea.

IIRC that was named after the chef that created it, not a Roman emperor.

But who was the chef named after?

The salad. It's a real mind-bender.

Did you know that Albert Einstein was actually named after Julius Caesar? This is because Caesar was named more than 2000 years ago, while Einstein was named much more recently.
