Message: | The Brown Derby, when it was still in existence on Wilshire Blvd. and on Vine St., was known for its grapefruit cake. Could that have been the cake you had? I think the recipe is in the LA Times cookbook, or maybe someone on the general topics board will share it with you. And just to pick up the thread from a few messages below, Long Beach is certainly not the westside nor is it the south bay. It is a separate city, part of LA County and the general "Los Angeles" area, and really not a bad drive from most parts of the rest of LA (granted, it's easier if you avoid rush hour), and a nice change for dinner and stroll, especially in the summer. |
