We cant seem to be able to get the mixer to work properly, we think we have it and we dont. So we won't have the US phone line or the Skype line
working but you can use the chat and ask away during the show. I'll be doing all the talking. Wish me the best.

Hungry to set Caesar salad world record
Restaurateurs hope to top 2.5-ton mark

TIJUANA – Some restaurateurs think it's wrong that the Big Apple holds the record for the largest Caesar salad.
AdvertisementTijuana, after all, is said to have been the salad's birthplace.
So they're getting ready to beat the 2.5-ton Caesar salad made in New York City in 2001 that's listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
The Tijuana branch of the National Chamber of Restaurants and Food Condiments, known by its acronym CANIRAC, will sponsor the challenge today. Under
the direction of five head chefs and with the help of 20 assistant chefs and 300 students from a local culinary program, the city plans to prepare a
3-ton salad that's 60 meters long and can feed 15,000 people.
Tijuana has tossed giant salads before: In 1998, the same group held an event to create a 27.4-meter-long Caesar salad, but it never made Guinness'
book.
This time, the salad preparation and creation will be monitored on site by a representative of the Guinness Book of Records, said Martha Lobo
Rodríguez, the event's coordinator.
Though several versions of the Caesar salad story exist, it's generally believed that the first such salad was made by Livio Santini, an Italian
immigrant cook at the original Alex Caesar Cardini's restaurant in Tijuana, and that Santini's boss was the first to market it about 1925.
The salad stunt will be part of a food-and-dance festival marking the 25th anniversary of Cecut, the Tijuana Cultural Center, that will last from 1 to
11 p.m. The center, near the San Ysidro border crossing on Paseo de Los Heroes, is easily identified because part of the building looks like a giant
ball.
Salad making will take place from 2 to 3 p.m., but preparations will start earlier, Lobo said. That includes cracking 12,500 eggs to use the whites,
cutting lettuce and concocting the olive dressing.
After the Guinness representative decides whether there's a new record, and health authorities give the OK, the salad will be put up for sale: about
$3 a person for all you can eat.
