Chasen's Restaurant (1937)
|
9039 Beverly Blvd. A relative of mine worked there and knows how to make the original chili! It's to die for. Elizabeth Taylor supposedly had the Chili shipped to her on the set of Cleopatra. This restaurant was a favorite of President Reagan and Frank Sinatra. Continental food (along with Hobo Steak and Chili!) Bristol Farms which took over the site of Chasen's was thoughtful enough to preserve a bit of the interior (see left) as their coffee shop. See my great books page for a new book out about the restaurant. |

7383 Melrose. I used to love how dark this restaurant was. The waiters actually used flashlights to show you to your table! Fortunately, the new owners have left the interior intact, so you can continue to enjoy the interior. I can't remember what the new name is however. Update: It was Trilussa and unfortunately it has closed. It appears the interior is gutted. Oh well! |
| Chicago Chop Suey House Restaurant | 1733 Highland Ave. Hollywood, California |

Chili Bowl
|
There was once a chain of 18 Chili Bowl
Restaurants created by Arthur Whizin (the
Chili Bowl King). One of the first fast food
chains, long before Mickey D's. A nice bit
of programmatic architecture, the
restaurants of course, looked like Chili
Bowls. Some of the treats sold here: "Egg Royals", Tamales, a "size" (hamburger with either Beans or Chili burger) and of course - Chili! 501 W. Valley Blvd. (building still standing now called Kim Chuy per Joe V.) and 12244 W Pico Blvd. (still standing called Mr. Cecil's California Ribs per Joe V. and Roadside Peek) and one in Huntington Park called Roche Guadalajara (still standing per Joe V. and Roadside Peek) |

|
1727 N. McCadden & Hotel Marina del Rey, 13534 Bali Way & 3901 E. Coast Hwy, Corona del Mar. Also in the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas. Perhaps the first Tiki restaurant. Started by Ernest Raymond Beaumont-Gantt (Don the Beachcomber was his nickname), and his wife Cora Irene Sund (a former waitress at the Tick Tock Tea Room). Apparently there is a recreated Don the Beachcomber in Disney's California adventure - if you go there, let me know if they did a good job in recreating it. One of the great things that this and the Seven Seas did was have "rain on the roof" - whether it be raining in Los Angeles or not. Of course, when it rains in Los Angeles, in comes down in Torrance.

Earl Carroll's Theatre-Restaurant (Gordon B.
Kaufmann designer)

6230 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, California. One of the biggest and
most famous Hollywood nightclubs. Earl
Carroll was a Broadway producer and the
place was best known for its beautiful
showgirls. It was established on 12-26-38.
It had two stages that turned in a circle,
with 80 foot diameters. Three stages floated
in water, and several platforms could be
lowered out of sight. Almost 1000 people
could fit into the place for quite a party.
Marcel Lamaze was in charge of cuisine. Sort of in the style of the Chinese Theater, Carroll started putting the autographs of stars on the side of his club. They were removed in the 1980s. It reopened as Frank Senne's Moulin Rouge on 12-25-53. It closed as a night club in 1960. Now it houses Nickelodeon. The building is rumored to be endangered. |

steaks. It also had an outdoor dining patio.
Farmer John's was at 630 N. Sepulveda as you
show, but the city was West Los Angeles
rather than in Bel Air as you have it
