The origin of the Cobb Salad
The Cobb Salad is an American classic, a combination of lettuce, avocado, bacon, eggs, tomato, and chicken. It was created in 1937 by Robert Cobb, the owner of the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant. Legend has it that Cobb created the salad after rummaging through the kitchen for a snack one late night. He combined all of the ingredients he could find and the Cobb Salad was born!
