Not dreaming he would ever add this kitchen sink salad on the menu, he shared it with his friend Sid Grauman of the legendary Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
It was so delicious that the next day, Grauman came back asking for a "Cobb Salad. Replace a few handfuls of romaine lettuce with watercress. Opt for a tablespoon or two of minced chives in place of red onion. Use cheddar cheese in place of blue cheese. Roquefort or feta are other good options.
