I don't believe that location was ever a Brown Derby. It was Michael's
for decades before the current owners arrived, and was originally
built as "The Hat," unrelated to the Brown Derby. I lived in Los Feliz
for 20 years, and this is what the "old timers" told me. I think I
have a history of Los Feliz somewhere and will try to confirm this.
