This week’s Snackshot is a delicious salad found at Hollywood Studios.
The famous Cobb Salad can be ordered at The Hollywood Brown Derby, which is located in the Hollywood Boulevard area. The Hollywood Brown Derby is a replica of the restaurant of the same name from the golden era of Hollywood. That’s the feeling you get from the second you step inside the restaurant. The high and dramatic arches, big chandeliers, and celebrity caricatures are all features of the restaurant that make it feel like you are dining somewhere other than Disney World.
Supposedly, the Cobb Salad was created in 1937 by the owner of the Hollywood Brown Derby, Robert Howard Cobb. The story goes that he had not eaten and it was very late in the day, so he took a bunch of ingredients from the kitchen (including bacon cooked by the line cook), and mixed it with some French dressing. This was the start of the famous Cobb Salad, which is available to order at the Disney World location.
The salad in the picture was purchased at their outdoor lounge. This is an area that is first come, first served, so if you can’t get a seat in the restaurant it’s worth checking out the lounge.
Cobb Salad Ingredients
- Finely Chopped Greens
- Turkey Breast
- Bacon
- Egg
- Tomatoes
- Crumbled Blue Cheese
- Avocado
- Cobb dressing

I’ve always enjoyed Cobb Salad, so needless to say I love this one. Everything in the salad is so finely chopped that it mixes together really well and each bite has a mix of flavors. This is something I order anytime I am at the lounge or the restaurant, so I definitely recommend it!
Hope you enjoyed this week’s Snackshot! Have you ever tried the Cobb Salad at The Hollywood Brown Derby?

I love all things Disney, but my main love is for Disney World and I'm always planning for the next trip. Before becoming a Disney blogger, I was a radio DJ, so I guess I'm just continuing in the communication industry, just in a different form. I love talking Disney and I could talk about Disney all day. That's why I started blogging and created the Facebook group. The Disney community is full of friendly, helpful, and happy people...and I love being a part of it! If there is any Disney subject you would like to see covered just let me know! Need help planning your Disney vacation. Feel free to contact myself or Melissa at Never Stop Dreaming Travel Co. We love helping people plan their trips! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!
