History of Cobb Salad
Andrew Levesque, The Roundhouse

I am frequently asked "what is the difference between a Vermont and California Cobb salad," or "what's in that?" The answer depends on one’s definition of a traditional Cobb salad. In my quest for the answer I stumbled upon an amusing tale…

The Cobb salad was created in 1937 in the historic Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood. Rumor has it that movie mogul Jack Warner stumbled in hungry late one night as owner Bob Cobb was closing down. Not wanting to disappoint, Mr. Cobb rummaged through the refrigerator extracting various odds and ends: romaine lettuce, avocado, a hard-boiled egg, chives, cheese, a cold breast of chicken, bacon, and busily started chopping. Needless to say Jack was pleased and the Cobb Salad was born. It was so good that other Hollywood luminaries began asking for it and its popularity grew exponentially. Today there are many variations of this creation. Here’s ours:

One head of Boston Bibb lettuce, washed and torn
One head fresh Romaine, chopped
½ Head Belgian endive, chopped fine
2 diced Roma tomatoes
2 hard boiled eggs, diced
One large chicken breast, diced
One avocado, peeled, cored, and chopped
¼ cup bleu cheese
¼ cup chives, chopped fine
Two strips crisp bacon, diced

Toss all with Cobb dressing:

¼ cup red wine vinegar
¼ tsp sugar
1 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp salt
¾ tsp fresh ground black pepper
¾ tsp Worcestershire sauce
¼ tsp dry English mustard
1 small clove garlic, finely minced
¼ cup olive oil
¾ cup salad oil
