Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of restaurants of long ago (none of the restaurants mentioned are there anymore with the exception of Lawry's), and now it is time for you to post until the hungry cows come home.

Good morning, all! I'm ready to hit the Columbia library this morning. First, a stop at the bank to order more checks.

I only remember vague sections of dreams last night: visiting a work friend with children and something about collecting checked items at a hotel.

DR Laura, how did you like the SHOW BOAT? I haven't watched it yet, but Patrick Cummings, my leading man on the ROBERTA recording, plays Julie's husband Steve. He's a wonderful actor.

Good morning, all.

By George (no relation), I think it's coffee time.

I hate detest loathe abominate hot weather. I am already looking forward to the first blizzard.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #17 on:** July 13, 2015, 05:06:31 AM »

Lovely notes and restaurant memories. I remember at least seeing a few of those, such as Kowloon and Wan-Q in the brief time in 1979-1980 that I lived on South Beverly Drive and was up and down Pico a lot. I might have eaten at the latter. And it seems like I just saw the Kowloon sign in something I was watching. What the hell was it?

I loved the interior of that Lawry's location on the west side of the street. BK stopped short of mentioning Ollie Hammond's just to the north. I've always been sad that I was only in there a couple of times before its demise. And all those years, I never got into the restaurant with the whale's mouth door. Edit: Fish Shanty!

My first Fatburger was the one in the La Cienega/San Vicente crossing, and farther to the north, I ate in Norm's a number of times. A favorite coffee shop was the Beverly Hills Cafe just north of Wilshire. And for a short while (?) there was Casa Cugat, where none other than Xavier Cugat would make his rounds, using a cane, greeting people at their tables.

I'm afraid DR Elmore has a little more abominatin' to do before that blizzard gets here.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #19 on:** July 13, 2015, 05:19:30 AM »

Just a few more in that general area:

Factor's Deli on Pico at Beverly Dr. (I lived near Cashio), Love's Pit Barbecue a bit west of there, and the Ship's at Olympic and La Cienega.

Does anyone remember a restaurant called At Marty's which was farther east on Pico? North side of the street. Early '80s for me, and I have no idea if it was new or old then.

It is a beautiful production. I knew it would be.

Laura · « **Reply #22 on:** July 13, 2015, 05:55:17 AM »

It ends a bit differently than the version I saw touring a few years ago.

TOD: We did not go to restaurants often when I was growing up. When we did, it was to Monti's for a steak. Monti's just closed earlier this year.

too many restaurants came and went. montreal was known for its food.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #26 on:** July 13, 2015, 06:35:29 AM »

I think the Benihana is still there on La Cienega. At any rate, that was the site of my first hibachi (actually Teppanyaki) meal.

TOD:
I grew up in the east bay area of Northern California (near Hayward) and our favorite Chinese restaurant was Hunan Gardens. My mother liked a place that basically served American food called The Pinecone, but my dad didn't like it (I found out years later). When someone had a birthday, the waiters never bothered to learn the birthday person's name, so they would just sing, "...Happy birthday from The Pinecone. Happy birthday to you." So, at home, when one of us had a birthday, we always sang "Happy birthday from The Pinecone..." and we all thought that was hilariously funny.

I don't remember At Marty's. We stopped and had soup at Factor's on our way to the airport in November and took sandwiches with us to eat on the plane. I ate at Ships when I was young. Keith & I went to Loves a few times but that was all.
