Not all Hollywood restaurants are owned by stars; many restaurants are famous simply because of the many showbiz celebs who frequent them.

Some, such as Chasen’s and Spago, became Hollywood legends. Some, like Craig's, are relative newcomers, still building their legend. Others, such as Morton’s, are high-profile "power scenes," where agents, actors, and other show biz players go to be seen and to make deals.
