When Montejano started at Queen City, he reworked the Caesar Salad, a recipe by former co-owner Peter Lamb whose recipe for an upscale Caesar included a light, delicate vinaigrette. Montejano developed a creamy, decadent anchovy and garlic rich dressing. The new recipe earned nods as the best Caesar in the city.
