This chicken noodle soup recipe, like chicken soup, is a classic comfort food that has many different variations ranging from Asian using rice noodles, to our own “down home” style using vermicelli or in this case, egg noodles. Loved by so many there are numerous pieces of literature written about it. In 2006 there was a hip-hop song with a supplementary dance entitled:”Chicken Noodle Soup” released. Why do we love chicken noodle soup so? Why do we crave it when we’re not feeling well?

Cobb Salad Recipe

This Cobb salad recipe is true to its historic roots. Cobb salad was named after its creator Bob Cobb who owned the famous restaurant, The Brown Derby, in Hollywood California. Legend has it that one night he was looking for a midnight snack, pulled whatever he had in the fridge out, various greens, tomatoes, chicken, hard-boiled eggs, avocados, and cheese. He started chopping, topped it with bacon. Some say it could have gone unnoticed if it wasn't for Sid Grauman, the man behind the intricate Chinese Theatre, who started to request the Cobb salad. The salad and its name went down in history.
