Cobb Salad

Cultural Context

The Cobb Salad originated in the 1930s at the Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, California. It was created by the restaurant's owner, Bob Cobb, as a late-night snack. The salad has since become a staple in American cuisine, known for its hearty ingredients and vibrant presentation. It is often served as a main dish for lunch or dinner, appealing to those looking for a filling yet fresh meal.
