The Incredibly Popular Salad Created by Billings Baseball Pioneer
As a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy, I have to remind myself to eat a salad once in a while. Usually more in the summertime, when a crisp, cool salad seems to hit the spot on a hot day. Caesar salads are good, taco salad is great and we make a lot of tomato and cucumber salad at my house in the summer. When I order a salad as an entre, I usually pick a Cobb salad.
Little did I know, the Cobb salad was invented by a man from Billings named Bob Cobb. Yes, the same guy responsible for Cobb Field, now Dehler Park. His story is pretty fascinating and I can t believe I ve never connected the dots before.
