The Brown Derby was a symbol of midcentury glamour on par with Dior’s New Look, Pan Am Airways, and Palm Springs. It was where those in Hollywood who were successful went for the food, and where the upwardly mobile went to hobnob with those were successful, or at least be within their vicinity. This book offers not only the restaurant’s signature recipes—Cobb Salad, Spaghetti Derby—but also recalls the vibrant social history of the famous restaurant.
