What:      Cobb Salad
Where:    Deacon’s Corner   (101 Main Street, Vancouver BC)  http://www.deaconscorner.ca
Why:       A while back a friend posted a photo of a dish he ordered called ‘the macho bowl’, which essentially was a cobb salad without the lettuce. I’ve yet to find such a thing outside of my kitchen but Deacon’s comes pretty close. There are generous portions of all the favourites … avocado, bacon, blue cheese, tomatoes, corn and chicken, piled onto lettuce in a big bowl and topped off with a hard boiled egg. This dish is a meal in itself and with just salt and pepper added it seems so much healthier than a salad slathered with dressing.
