Caesar salad, side of fries, and a dry martini is the new “live, laugh, love.”The meal combo of the summer—the “it” girl dinner, if you will—has been decided on TikTok. A viral meme that seems to have really kicked off the trend, fueled largely by young women, reads, “Are you depressed or do you just really need a dry martini, a Caesar salad and a side order of fries?” After circulating through reiterations on TikTok and X, the trio has even earned approval from cooks for its well-paired flavor profile, typical price point (way less than an entree), and a shareability factor. And like last year’s iconic “girl dinner” trend, this viral meal is already seeing all kinds of variations shared, starting with swapping in a Diet Coke of course, and brands can hop in at any time.
