Snob Salad

So the cobb salad is apparently the signature salad of snobby country clubs across the country. I've always wanted to join a country club, but tragically, I have significant school loans and have to worry about trivial things like food, clothing and shelter before enjoying the finer things in life.

The good news is, you can still enjoy a cobb salad without joining a country club. Some restaurants make it difficult to eat the cobb salads they serve. I've been to places where they bring out half hard boiled eggs, half avacados and huge strips of bacon on top of lettuce. In the words of our country club friends "send it back!" I say.

I prefer things to be well chopped and a lighter dressing for so many heavy ingredients. Normally I'm not a huge advocate of chain restaurants, but the Cheesecake Factory has one of the best cobb salads I've ever had. It's big enough for two people, so you can split it with your lover.
