This link will take you to a list of the “oldest surviving Los Angeles restaurants.” This being Los Angeles, “old” is a relative term (many of the restaurants listed are from the 1960s through 1980s).

At first, I was surprised to see that I’ve eaten at 45 of these restaurants, many of them more than once. Then when I realized there are 250 restaurants on the list, I decided that one out of five isn’t so large a number. More surprising is that I have other friends who say they’ve dined in about 45 of these — but I’ve never run into them at any of these places.

This list also reminds me that I should revisit some of these places. (Especially when guests from out of town like my friend Paul can pick up the check.)
