TIJUANA, Mexico, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Chefs in Tijuana, Mexico, aimed Sunday to wrest the world's Caesar salad record from New York by tossing a 3-ton salad to feed 15,000 people.
Tijuana, said to be where the Caesar salad was invented, hoped to beat New York's 2.5-ton salad tossed in 2001 for entry in the Guinness Book of Records, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Sunday.
Five chefs, 20 assistant chefs and 300 culinary students were to be monitored in Tijuana by a Guinness representative.
The salad officially was to be tossed in the afternoon while preparations began earlier in the day, including the cracking of 12,500 eggs needed to make the dressing.
Legend has it the first Caesar salad was made in the 1920s by Livio Santini, an Italian chef at the original Alex Caesar Cardini's restaurant in Tijuana.
