Army Archerd's Hollywood

Long before even Paris, Lindsay and Nicole's parents were old enough to drink, Army Archerd was breaking bread with the Hollywood elite at some of L.A.'s legendary -- and long departed -- eateries.

For its 100th anniversary special, Variety had Army recount his favorite Hollywood haunts of all times. Of his list, just Dan Tana's still exists. Here are Army's faves:

Ciro's

The Interlude & Crescendo

Chasen's
("The most famous restaurant in Hollywood history. Where presidents and superstars sat in leather-covered booths alongside one another.")

Slate Brothers
("Where the brothers brought intimate comedy into an insulting uproar and where Don Rickles made his leap to stardom.")

Mocambo
("The site for many latenight brawls.")

Cocoanut Grove

Romanoff's
("Humphrey Bogart, Jimmy Stewart and Gary Cooper frequented.")

Villa Capri
("Gave birth to every succeeding generation of celebrity Italian restaurant thanks to the continued support of Frank Sinatra and friends.")

Scandia
("On the Sunset Strip across the street from the Villa Nova, where Hollywood could make its choice between Italian and Scandinavian food.")

Luau
("The Beverly Hills hideaway for romantic couples.")

The Bistro

The Brown Derby
("On Vine Street and in Beverly Hills. Where the famous Cobb salad became an international menu item.")
