Anybody who's reading this and wondering what is so special about the Cobb salad: it isn't torn or cut like a conventional salad but, instead, follows the prep method that was served at the original Brown Derbys in Hollywood. Chefs would call this "riced." It means that all the ingredients: lettuce, bacon, and so forth, have been chopped almost to the size of rice. That sounds like mush but it is not. Instead it's a heavenly blend of flavors and crunch that brings my wife and me back to HBD every time we visit WDW. I don't know of any other restaurant, anywhere, that prepares Cobb salad the original way (or what I would call "the right way"). Once you've tasted it at the Brown Derby, you'll wish for it sadly whenever you see Cobb salad on the menu anywhere else.
