Description
Photograph article dated December 27, 1960 partially reads, "It is always cropping up that the Valley is a famous place, with famous names, and we go on about our business unimpressed, except to now and then take note of fame. Sherman Billingsley is probably the most famous restaurant operator in the world on account of his Stork Club, and we have a Billingsley here in the Valley in three locations. He is Glenn Billingsley from Oklahoma, nephew of Sherman Billingsley, who learned the restaurant business helping run the Stork Club, and who runs the Golden Bull chain. Glenn has Golden Bull Steak and Chop Houses in Studio City, Chatsworth, and Calabasas, and is known as the largest seller of steaks on the Pacific Coast." Note: Pictured is Glenn Billingsley.
