Food rating: 7.5 out of 10
Times ordered: 1

Let me start by saying I have never been a big fan of bleu cheese. That being said I have been craving a salad with chicken and bacon and I always like to revisit my dislikes to see if my palate has changed, so the cobb at Home was going to be my testing ground. First impression was, "damn another salad I have to toss myself", BUT they gave you plenty of bowl to do it in, so it didn't turn out to be that much of an ordeal, unlike our previous disaster. The ingredients looked quite fresh and upon tasting the dressing I was pleasantly surprised, slightly buttery and creamy with decent flavor. The bleu cheese chunks were a little too massive for me (but that could just be my overall dislike of bleu cheese), but I do have to say I could tolerate them and they added something to the dish which I had never appreciated before. The tomatoes were not so great, even though they looked fresh they were very bland. It's getting harder and harder to find good tomatoes everywhere (I don't know if it's simply a matter of the season or what). The bacon and avocado blended together well and the bacon in particular was cooked perfectly. I did find that "center of the lettuce hunk" where they had cut the bottom off though. It's a piece of the lettuce I just can't eat and I don't feel like it should have been in there. The chicken was above average, with a light barely discernable marinade and the char from the grilling was just right. I would have this again next time I was feeling that bleu cheese adventurousness.
