Technically there was anchovies in the original Caesar salad dressing. Worcestershire sauce is one of the main ingredients and that is made from fermented anchovies.
fun fact: there is anchovy in worcestershire sauce

What's with the audio quality on this one? Sounds like you recorded the voiceover with your phone an inch from your face
I suppose the panzanella you did is a restaurant fancy version, but it is far, far different from the one we do at home in Italy, which is mostly used to reuse stale bread

Little known fact: Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it

How do you eat wedge salad?
Tossing salad HEHE
The anchovies might not have been original, but I don't think I could make a Caesar without them.
My mouth is literally watering right now!
3:45 That ain't no salad Babish, that's a non-sweet, seedless, skinless watermelon!!!
The lack of measurements for the panzanella dressing is stressing me out
That wedge thing is a joke right? Right?…
Tossed salad without scrambled eggs? You sir have earned a down vote.
Can’t get any more basic than a salad
I giggled at every "toss salad" and regret nothing
I wish he took a bite of that wedge salad cos I wanted to know how you’re supposed to eat that
"…As the salad moved North to the U.S, a key ingredient changed within the recipe. Lemon juice is commonly used, despite the original Caesar salad opting for lime. It is thought the confusion came from the Spanish word for 'lime' being 'limón', which sounds similar."
BABISH? Y U DO THIS TO ME
wait what do u mean Caesar salad originally only had bread & lettuce
I like my ceasar salad with a shot and a half of reposado tequila
For the white wine vinaigrette, what is the ratio of vinegar to olive oil?
TIJUANA

These all look amazing and he made it seem so easy I’m excited to try these
Please do a video on how to use balsamics, including white balsamics like lime and pineapple.
“Once you’re done tossing salad, it’s time to get dressed”. Uh, ok…
