Burbank, CA --- The venerable Smoke House restaurant is threatened
by condo development.

The Smoke House in Burbank is possibly threatened by a condo development.
The restaurant doesn't own the land in this case. Hopefully there would
be a great deal of support to save it, with Warner Bros. directly across
the street.
The Smoke House is one of the last of the steak-and-prime
rib restaurants. All its counterparts such as Chadney's, Tail o' the Cock
and Chadney's have become history. The Smoke House opened
in 1946 by three engineers from Lockheed and has fed Lockheed executives
and nearby Warner Bros. studio for decades. 07-03
