According to George Geary's "L.A.'s Legendary Restaurants," (highly recommended) the ingredients in the Hollywood Brown Derby Cobb Salad were iceberg and romaine lettuce, chicory, tomatoes, chicken breast, bacon, avocado, hard boiled eggs, chopped chives, and crumbled Roquefort cheese, arranged in strips on a plate and then tossed by the waiter at tableside.
The salad was dressed with Brown Derby French Dressing, reconstructed by Geary (almost all the recipes in the book are reconstructions) as: 3/4 cup red wine vinegar 1/4 cup water 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce 2 tsp fresh lemon juice 1 tsp sugar 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp Dijon mustard 3/4 tsp salt 1 clove garlic 1 cup olive oil and 1 cup canola oil Puree everything but the oil in a blender, then drizzle in the oils to emulsify. I've made it and it's really good. Cheers, Earl |

Once i got older we would go to Pan Pacific Park Pool, and afterwards we would bike down 3rd and head to Fatburger on La Cienega (then to the Beverly Center) and again get fries. My Parents would go to this location a lot and say its the original. But i thought the original was incorporated into a low income housing unit off Crenshaw along the new Crenshaw line? |

I'm surprised no one has brought up Carney's, also an excellent chili burger, and housed in actual old rail cars converted to be the kitchen and dining rooms. http://live.staticflickr.com/3007/28...69b47539_n.jpg Flickr I always got a kick looking at the old black and white photos of them installing the train cars to convert to the restaurant: https://www.dc83.com/carneytrain/wp-...3-SC-crane.jgp https://www.carneytrain.com/about/ |

Doug, I have eaten Tommy's for 61 years. Only once I have I eaten a Tommy's without the Chile...Never make that mistake again, it was not very good. In Tommy's case the CHILE is the success of their burgers. Double Meat, Double Cheese, Chile and Tomato are number one.

Fortunately the meat part has stayed fairly good quality since then. Its not the best imo but its acceptable. Yes, the chili is their hallmark. Hamburger Hamlet, now defunct, save for one, had better but then that was an upscale place. https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I9JLJfj05...35130_free.jpg HH |

The reason I guessed that Tom's #5 (in the 'Stingray'snapshot) was located near a beach is the blue area on the right. I thought it might be the ocean. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/ZSlg9Z.jpg So do you think that blue area is the ocean or are we looking at something else? |

mystery location Do ya'll remember the 'Skid Row' photograph of the man in the brick alley that I posted 5 or 6 days ago? Well the same ebay seller just listed another 'Skid Row' photograph from 1972 that shows a brick alley. ....It could be a street I guess. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/7dYu0d.jpg eBay The street number on the other slide was 695. . the street number on this slide is 451. ....So obviously this is a different alleyway. Needless to say. .I feel sorry for the poor man. :( |
.
Here's one more slide for tonight. mystery location. (nope. no it's not)... San Julian Street. .and. .? This is yet another slide taken in the 'Skid Row' area of Los Angeles. (1950s or 60s) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/HzCqZ3.jpg eBay That's an excellent looking arched doorway on the right. ...I'm a bit surprised it's located on the side, and towards the back, of the building. I spy the Southern Hotel. . |

In the 1996 book, The Brown Derby Restaurant (Sally Wright Cobb), the recipe for the Cobb salad ingredients also included "1 Bunch Watercress". The recipe for "Cobb's Old Fashioned French Dressing" varies slightly here and there from the one you posted. (Mostly in amounts.) I put the differences from yours in parentheses. (1) 3/4 cup red wine vinegar (1) 1/4 cup water (1) 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce (juice of one lemon) 2 tsp fresh lemon juice (1) 1 tsp sugar (1 tbsp) 1 tsp black pepper (1 tbsp dry English Mustard) 1 tsp Dijon mustard (1 tbsp) 3/4 tsp salt (1) 1 clove garlic (minced) (1) 1 cup olive oil (3 cups salad oil) 1 cup canola oil ...for what it's worth. Lots of food talk lately! Are we all hungry? Or hungry for going to restaurants! |
