Caesar salad was invented by the chef-owner of an Italian restaurant called Cardini’s. Yes, it is located in Tijuana. It was popular during Prohibition. The owner was an Italian immigrant to Mexico, Caesar Cardini.
As an Italian - born and raised - I appreciate how this video was made, explaining the reasoning behind the "rules" so to make more sense of them. Interesting and creative, in that sense.
Il modo in cui vengono presentate queste "regole" però è sbagliato. Le presenti così, con questo tono irritante, e la gente giustamente risponde male come vedi dai commenti. Poi alcune cose non sono vere, o variano da regione a regione. Io il burro sul pane ce lo metto quando lo faccio tostato con le acciughe.
Exactly why I bothered even watching this. The only disgrace I actually have here is that you got to budget and prepare for up to nine courses of meals. I don't see why no mentions of half/micro courses. They do exists and I believe it's something that could be explored. For those of us who can't pay or even EAT the whole up to nine courses. Even at a conservatively $25 a plate. We are talking well over TWO HUNDERDS dollars before drinks and tips?!
I think the "bread rules" mentioned here is interesting but there are regional considerations. Where I traveled, I often had fresh bread served with olive oil, cracked pepper, and slices of cheese. Yum!
Darn Max, this looks fantastic! Kudo's to you and your parents. I'm thinking you made some lifelong lasting memories with this trip. Bravo. I'm of Sicilian heritage, and a pretty decent cook... I can't answer your pinned question on account I gave up going to Italian Restaurants (at least here in the US) because, well, I do it better myself... Way better!
I'm guessing the main reason for the many "courses" in a traditional Italian diner and dining experience would be that the servings are far smaller than what we'd expect in a US restaurant (Italian or otherwise) where we're so used to "supersizing" virtually everything.
Agree. Also, another reason for the many “courses” in a traditional Italian restaurant is that a proper meal can last up to 2 hours, or sometimes 2 hours and 30 minutes. Dining at a traditional Italian restaurant is all about bonding and building of relationship with your dining companions instead of eating as quickly as possible and leaving the place because you have other more important things to do.
@@petersmith2040 I get that but there are valid grounds for being at opposition of such. At current entree prices even very conservatively we are still talking OVER two hundreds dollars. That's before even drinks and tips and obviously that would tack on much more money to that.
From England to France to Spain to Italy, coffee is the final dish of a meal. And you drink only one cup. And that is true in Latin American culture as well. In a Mexican restaurant recently I ordered three refills and got charged for four cups of coffee. The video didn't mention the use of anisette or zambucco to help with digestion. I'm not clear if or when that would occur when dining at a restaurant. At home we would have liquors after a big meal after having left the table and moved to comfy chairs and couches. You can't beat liquors for relieving that bloated feeling after a heavy Italian meal.
That is why you always ask. Here in the US, anything that comes out the foundation is either VERY minimal charges or free. But still, you should ask if the menus doesn't state.
I’m so sick of people telling people what and how they should eat. I could give a rats ass how somebody from Italy chooses to eat their food when they’re visiting the US. You want to dip pancake in ketchup? Go for it. Want to drink coffee for dinner? Who cares. Want to put butter in your celery, enjoy. Do whatever the hell you want, as long as you’re otherwise sanitary and polite.
I read that Italians don't digest milk well which is why they don't drink cappuccino after noon. Most Americans don't have that issue so I order them any time of the day.
I used to put ketchup on pasta. When I was 9. I didn't understand that sometimes you just have the spaghetti and treat the other food items as the sauce.
What they are saying that their restaurant and culture of operations so you might present to them otherwise. Think of it as if you were to walk into a house you didn't know with shoes on. They might thinks you are doing a disservice to them because of that.
It is still their restaurant and culture of operations though. It's the social equivalent of not taking off your shoes or putting on covers when you visit a house.
Glad I'm not Italian. I can't eat like that. I went to visit my friends mother and she spreads out a 6 course dinner and insisted I eat it all. I did and I love her although I shy away when she is there. I'm small and can't eat that much
Maybe it's just me, but I am getting rather tired of being reminded just how the rest of the world looks down their noses at Americans. It is amazing how we do every single thing wrong, but they still all desperately want to live here with us.
These aren't really "rules". We do have an order in which the courses are served, we usually don't drink cappuccino after 11 AM (James Hoffmann made a video explaining why), etc., but we don't care about what people eat.
Spaghetti and ketchup 🤬 a no no in Quebec, Canada….probably because there were a lot of Italian immigrants who came here …we know better thanks to them 💕😘
In Italy I was surprised to see that most bistros sell pizza slices bare of any ingredients at all, cold, and having sat around since the early morning. You order something to be thrown on it, such as squid or octopus. There's little or no sauce, herbs or cheese on it.
Of course it does; you use it to swallow your amphetamines while smoking your crystal meth - a restful night guaranteed 😂. Yeah, that one threw me too, pal. I'm sure there's some sort of digestive science behind it, tho'.
It's interesting but make sense. They don't power napping for no reason. This is when you intentionally drink coffee then power nap through the 15 minutes' for the alertness to be increased from the drink.
What are your favorite foods to order at Italian Restaurants?
Olive Garden
Pasta, Bread, Soup, Charcuterie Board and Chocolate.
olive Garden
Seafood with pasta. No cheese!

Dunking Italian bread in olive oil is one of the great pleasures of life.
Exactly it was obvious that it was something to eaten right there and then!

We love our garlic bread. Italy can keep it's traditional food. We here in the USA perfected Italian food. So get over it.
Love my garlic bread!

Food has no rules, just enjoy it how you want.

I love ketchup, but on spaghetti, I never even heard or ever saw anyone do that. Sounds nasty.
Ketchup and spaghetti? OMG, only Honey Boo Boo would do that!!!
I order spaghetti and cheesy garlic bread every time I eat at Italian restaurants maybe I should get more creative
I think opening my mouth to speak will scream tourist louder than asking for butter.
no spaghetti and meatballs? Lydia Bastianich would beg to differ.
I used to put ketchup on pasta. When I was 9. I didn't understand that sometimes you just have the spaghetti and treat the other food items as the sauce.
Garlic bread....an invention created by Italian Americans for Americans.... like spaghetti and meatballs.
Well it’s a good thing I eat how I want. Geez.
Well, I’ve broken plenty of these rules… oops 🫢
I'm going to always ask for extra butter. I'm going to eat bread when and wherever I want.
that's cool. They aren't mind readers, genius.
What they are saying that their restaurant and culture of operations so you might present to them otherwise. Think of it as if you were to walk into a house you didn't know with shoes on. They might thinks you are doing a disservice to them because of that.
It's nice to know what's customary, but Italy depends on tourism and I've found Italians to be pretty understanding.
well gee now i'm worried they'll be upset if i ask my spaghetti to be tossed in ranch 🙂
I think I'll be eating pizza and more pizza when visiting Italy. 🙄😂
I love how people always say we are eating it wrong. When it taste good to you who cares
It is still their restaurant and culture of operations though. It's the social equivalent of not taking off your shoes or putting on covers when you visit a house.
Olive Garden, hands down, lol.. And of the salad.
Glad I'm not Italian. I can't eat like that. I went to visit my friends mother and she spreads out a 6 course dinner and insisted I eat it all. I did and I love her although I shy away when she is there. I'm small and can't eat that much
If you're stuffed at the end and feel like passing out, drink a liquor or two.
Who cares? Eat what you want.
I make enough mistakes in English Pubs, let alone Italian Restaurants.
Absurd!
We have our own rules in the kitchen. As long as it follows the rules of Italian culture
If the restaurant doesn't like my food choices, I can take my business somewhere else, KAPEESH!
Capiche!

Eat what you want but respect food culture
I agree. You put it in a nutshell, there.
Maybe it's just me, but I am getting rather tired of being reminded just how the rest of the world looks down their noses at Americans. It is amazing how we do every single thing wrong, but they still all desperately want to live here with us.
OOOKKKAAAYYY! Thank you!
The video doesn't pick on the US just uses the US as a reference point
No, they all don’t. And for reason.
Shut up
@@lordravenscrag Exactly.
Rules, no. I'm going to eat the way I want to eat, in the order I want to eat. These "rules" are ridiculous.

@@billhaverchuck3745 So in other words, it's out of portions of reality. Makes a lot of sense to me now.
Wow Garlic bread is not Italian.
Ketchup spaghetti???
Sketti is delicious
Spaghetti and ketchup 🤬 a no no in Quebec, Canada….probably because there were a lot of Italian immigrants who came here …we know better thanks to them 💕😘
Americans need to travel more. But leave their preconceptions at home.
In Italy I was surprised to see that most bistros sell pizza slices bare of any ingredients at all, cold, and having sat around since the early morning. You order something to be thrown on it, such as squid or octopus. There's little or no sauce, herbs or cheese on it.
Why always European with Food? You have Africa!
I had garlic bread in Italy and BTW bruschetta is pronounced brew-shetta
Really? Coffee's gonna help you sleep?
Of course it does; you use it to swallow your amphetamines while smoking your crystal meth - a restful night guaranteed 😂.
Yeah, that one threw me too, pal. I'm sure there's some sort of digestive science behind it, tho'.
