NYT bestselling author goes viral with photo of Caesar salad in NOLA

A New York Times bestselling author is going viral with a recent photo she posted to Twitter of a rather basic Caesar salad that she was served during a trip to New Orleans. Celeste Ng, author of "Everything I Never Told You," tweeted the photo on Saturday. It has been retweeted more than 1,300 times and liked more than 2,400 times. "This is not what I expected when I ordered a Caesar salad," Ng tweeted. The photo shows a head of lettuce with a bread ring at the bottom. There's no cheese, but a cup of dressing was provided.
