Here is another location we need help with.
The Old World Restaurant, most likely in Los Angeles but there is a chance it isn't also.
Anybody remember this place and where it was located???
DING DING DING! We have another place identified by a blog viewer!
Old World Restaurant is now the Red Rock Restaurant located at
8782 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, West Hollywood, CA.
I personally wish to thank the alert viewer who sent us this information!

I worked as a waiter here for 8 years from 1982-1990 when they closed. I waited on many celebs, MJ, Rock Hudson, Cher, Drummer from U2, Sting, Sean Connery, John Stamos, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Jerry Brown, Molly Ringwald, Helena Bonham Carter, just to name a few. The food was organic and great, the owner, Dr. Franks, in his 80's, came in every day to have his fresh squeezed carrot juice. They had the best homemade Belgian waffles around. Crispy and light with great flavor. Never found the same again. I was saddened when the place closed due to money mismanagement. IRS was running the till during it's last days. Many patrons were very saddened and people were trying to figure out a way to save the place. Tower was across the street, and Spagos was up the street from Tower.
I ate there about twice a month for two decades…always an omelet with apple butter and English muffin and of course the best Belgian Waffle on the planet (wish I had recipe or what it was made with). Miss eating on the patio
If anyone is interested...
the opening scenes of this episode are of Santa Monica Blvd between 4th and 6th streets.
It shows the old Pep Boys and Radio Shack stores as well as Victor Barnaba's photo shop.
Much of that area looks totally different now...but there are a number of buildings that are recognizable.
Loved their cashew chicken sandwich!
