Summary: While hiking the hills overlooking the historic Cobb Estate in Altadena, California, Tim explains the discovery of the Cobb Salad. Historic fact or ????
We have been walking about ten minutes in the hills of California. The path followed can be seen in the distance. The plateau is called the Cobb Estate. This is owned by the guy who invented the Cobb Salad!
The Marx Brothers ended up owning the estate after the Cobb people went into business with Del-Monte. The panoramic view of the valley explains why they built here.
So you have heard it here first from Tim, Cobb Salad invented right here in this valley. (Background laughter.)
