From such classics as Musso \u0026amp; Frank and The Brown Derby in the 1920s to the see-and-be-seen crowds at Chasen’s, Romanoffs, and Ciro’s in the mid-20th century to the dawn of California cuisine at Ma Maison and Spago Sunset in the 1970s and ’80s, \u003ci\u003eL.A.’s Legendary Restaurants\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the famous locations where Hollywood ate, drank, and played.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor George Geary leads you into the glamorous restaurants inhabited by the stars through a lively narrative filled with colorful anecdotes and illustrated with vintage photographs, historic menus, and timeless ephemera.
