One can never go wrong with a classic Caesar salad and Bridger Brewing makes a great one. Chilled Romaine, parmesan, and a few croutons are dressed with just the right amount of house-made Caesar dressing—no doubt complete with the necessary raw egg and anchovies. The thoughtfully cut lemon wedges allow you to add extra tang, if that’s your thing.
