Oh Altadenahiker you beat me. You could enjoy "Texas tamales with Mt. Baldy orange juice". It was two stories tall - a dining room being on the second floor. Great to learn about Day of the Locust connection.
Oh, let me tell you, growing up in Illinois I knew about this place! I desperately wanted to go there! I don't even know if it existed in the 1960s but I saw a picture of it somewhere and I had an imagination.

The Mother Goose Pantry Restaurant on Colorado Blvd, built 1929. Nathaniel West used it as inspiration for the Cinderella Bar in Day of the Locust.

It's a submarine that eats children.
