Food may well be the "new rock" but sometimes the worlds collide, as they did recently when Peter Bjorn & John dined at Hollywood's old school meat-and-martinis hang out,

1. They make a very good trout.
2. Charlie Chaplin dined there all the time.
3. Greta Garbo discussed a script there.
4. Marilyn Monroe sneezed there.
5. It might be the oldest restaurant in the world.
