Whataburger’s Fresh Take on a Classic: The New Cobb Salad
Mar. 29, 2021 – By one popular account, the Cobb Salad was created in 1937 by Robert Cobb, who out of a late-night necessity, threw together leftovers in his kitchen to make what would become his restaurant’s signature dish.
With a nod to Mr. Cobb, Whataburger is bringing its own fresh, Insta-worthy take on the classic with the new Cobb Salad.
The Build
Whataburger’s new Cobb Salad comes with your choice of a warm, diced Grilled Chicken, Whatachick’n or Spicy Chicken filet, on a bed of Red Roma lettuce blend topped with shredded carrots, shredded cheddar cheese, three crispy bacon strips cut into pieces, grape tomatoes and a sliced hard-boiled egg.
“The Cobb Salad is a great combination of flavors,” said Whataburger Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Rich Scheffler. “Our take on the classic is made to order in our kitchens with fresh, high-quality ingredients and the chicken filets our customers know and love.”
