Why’s it called a Caesar Salad? ‘Cause Caesar ruled the romaines. But in all seriousness, did you know that the Caesar Salad was actually invented in Tijuana, Mexico in 1924 by Caesar Cardini and not Roman General, Julius Caesar?
We think that there could be a better name for this much-loved salad dish and that’s why we gave our followers on social media the chance to rename some of our favourite dishes on our #EatIn menu available at selected Road Lodges and Town Lodges. These hotels are in the process of rolling this tasty new menu out, so some of the below may not be ready just yet –here is the list of hotels where you will be able to order from our Eat-in menu in the near future:
- Road Lodge Bloemfontein
- Road Lodge Carnival

We called it ‘What the Fork?’ because we wanted you to get involved in finding some fun new names for the meals at the end of your fork!
How ‘What the Fork?’ Works
With so many jaw-dropping, finger-licking dishes in each of the four categories – Hot Meals, Burgers, Salads and Pizzas – there was lots for our followers to choose from. Be sure to check out the posts on the City Lodge Hotel Group Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts for a chance to enter.
Ah, but what’s in it for you? Each week the best name will win a 1-night stay for them and 3 friends at their choice of Town Lodge or Road Lodge across South Africa plus we’ll include lunch or dinner featuring your winning dish along with its brand-new name.
Enter and Win!
The first round started towards the end of April, and has been running with a new category each week. Hurry if you want to take part, we’re nearing the end and will be deciding our winners soon! To get you into the spirit of renaming oddly named foods, could you think of better names for Sweetbreads, Headcheese, Welsh Rarebit or Boston Cream Pie?
Good luck, we can’t wait to see the creative names you come up with!
If you’re planning a trip, make sure that you book a stay at these Road Lodges and Town Lodges that now offer our #EatIn Menu which includes a variety of fresh, tasty and made in-house lunch and dinner meals that are great for room-service or visit us in our restaurant.
