"Us regular folk have always been entranced by the lives of the rich and famous, by the stories, adventures, and sometimes even the misadventures of the stars that grace our screens, big and small. It's been that way since the earliest days of Hollywood: When Clara Bow found superstardom in the late 1920s, she became known as the first "it girl" (after the name of her hit movie), and the rest of us have been obsessed ever since."
"Absolutely, and in some cases, these famous faces had their favorite tables that you can still opt to sit at. There's something really lovely about holding on to that connection between the past and the present. So, let's talk about favorite steakhouses, whose footsteps you're following in when you go there, what's still on the menu, and a few of the stories those walls can tell."
Public fascination with celebrity lives has existed since early Hollywood, beginning with figures such as Clara Bow in the late 1920s. Celebrities have long revealed aspects of their personalities through favorite foods and preferred hangouts. Several iconic stars, including Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, John Wayne, and Elizabeth Taylor, favored steak. Some historic steakhouses that hosted the elite of Old Hollywood remain open today. Certain restaurants continue to preserve specific tables and menu items linked to famous patrons. Visiting these venues offers diners a direct, physical connection to Hollywood's social and culinary past.
