Brown Derby Cobb Salad with French Dressing

Last week most of the family enjoyed a stay at Walt Disney World.  The ones that couldn't go had college.  October is one of my favorite months to go because the Magic Kingdom is decorated for fall and Epcot has the Food and Wine Festival.  The Food and Wine Festival is a true culinary adventure.

At the Food and Wine Festival you can graze your way eating around the world from Africa to Singapore.

Menu From France

After sampling several countries cuisines I still had room to eat at two of my favorite places in Disney World - Chefs de France in Epcot and the Brown Derby at the Studios.

At the Chefs de France, I had some a bowl of delicious French Onion Soup, Quiche, and Creme Brulee for dessert.  Everything was delicious as usual.

The Brown Derby serves an amazing Cobb Salad that I have enjoyed for years.  The salad consists of chopped romaine lettuce, watercress, chicory, romaine lettuce, tomatoes,  turkey,  bacon, blue cheese, hard boiled eggs, and a delicious French  Dressing.  Toss them together, and you have a delicious salad that sends your taste buds into overdrive.
