My yoga teacher said the reason it might put women into labor is the salad dressing actually has caster oil in it- something known to cause contractions. If that is the case, it would make sense. I guess if we get desperate we can drive over there! I heard about “The Salad” at Caioti a number of times in my prenatal yoga class.

Not sure if we can make it out for "The Salad", but if all else fails... I'm looking forward to finding unique family friendly (in all senses - food, atmosphere, budget, etc), look for coming reports.

Enjoy those final dates! While not fine dining, will you be hitting Caioti in Studio City? My wife and went 2 days before our due date and she had "The Salad." 36 hours later we went into labor. No science behind it of course, but it does make us smile still. In regards to life as a foodie/chowhound after baby, I can say now, as a parent of a 2-year-old, you have a lot to look forward to. It took awhile but we eventually got very into the swing of hauling our infant daughter to just about any place we wanted. In particular at more international/ethnic eateries, I was consistently surprised, and very touched, to experience wonderful treatment by staff when we showed up with a chubby 4-month-old in one arm. You do occasionally have to endure "Oh, God" glare from poser-hipsters when you sit down, but our little gal has never been one to make a fuss while dining out so things went and still go fine. I've also found the trade-off for giving up certain kinds of places (cramped bar eateries, Campanile, any place so loud your ears ring) is that I discovered a world of family-friendly places that I didn't really appreciate before. Looking forward to your "with family" reviews! Very fun series of postings, Jonah. Enjoy those final dates! While not fine dining, will you be hitting Caioti in Studio City?
