Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the pan and let them drain on paper towels. Once cooled, chop them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Make Brown Butter Bread Crumbs

    In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt over medium heat. Stir continuously until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Add breadcrumbs and toss to coat. Cook for about 5 minutes until the crumbs are golden and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Romaine

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    Add the chopped bacon, brown butter bread crumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese to the romaine. Drizzle the house Caesar dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Finish with Chili Oil

    Drizzle Calabrian chili oil over the salad to taste. Toss again lightly before serving.
