"The Order: Tableside Caesar The retro steakhouse Dal Rae in Pico-Rivera prepares a few dishes tableside—steak diane, cherries jubilee, bananas foster—but the crown jewel is the from-scratch caesar. Order it and a cart straight out of a mid-century furniture showroom with a pantry’s worth of sauces and seasoning parks in front of your booth. Then a waiter who knows every ingredient measurement by heart puts on a three-minute performance that ends with a salty, well-tossed caesar piled on your chilled plate. It’s a fun show, and an even better salad." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
