Cobb salad is the quintessential American salad, first pulled together on a whim by Robert Cobb of the former Los Angeles landmark\u00a0Brown Derby\u00a0restaurant when he needed to feed Sid Grauman late one night (1937).<\/p>\n

It was such a hit, movie stars started requesting \u201cCobb\u2019s salad\u201d, and soon its popularity spread.<\/p>\n

The original Brown Derby restaurant on Wilshire Blvd. was eventually torn down in the 80s, like so many downtown LA landmarks\u2014Perinos, the Ambassador Hotel\u2014leaving a swath of strip malls in their place.<\/p>\n

I fondly remember the Brown Derby.<\/p>\n

It was in the shape of huge brown hat (you couldn\u2019t miss it) and within a few blocks of where we lived when I was a kid.<\/p>\n

Ah well, that big brown hat is long gone, but thank goodness the salad remains, a legacy of the Golden Era of Hollywood!<\/p>\n
