An LA legend or urban myth, call it what you will but there is a famous pizza cafe known for its salad that can induce labor. Seeing as how I'm hoping to have this baby any day now, I figured a little secret sauce salad dressing may be just the thing we need.
The Caioti Pizza cafe itself is a pretty small restaurant mixed with pizza fans, families and a handful of pregnant women. We took a seat towards the kitchen (and near the restroom). When the waitress offered to get drinks, I looked at her and said "I think you know why we're here" - she nodded and brought over the baby book. Part of the tradition is to sign the book with your story about why you are there and then come back after the baby comes to finish your entry.
The other part of the tradition is to order the "The" salad...which is a simple salad of romaine, walnut, Gorgonzola and vinaigrette dressing (which you can buy on its own). It was very tasty so I had no problem eating a full order. For fun we also ordered a pizza, which was really good too. Though we felt a little like tourists in a baby landmark, I managed to take a quick photo of our salad (or what was left of it).
Here's to the dressing, maybe the baby will be here tomorrow!
