Barney'...Whoops, sorry about the delayed response. Barney's Beanery is still a very popular place, and has a lot of historical significance. It happened at the LA location, but many years ago--I think in the 1940-70s.

The owner posted a sign that refused service to homosexuals, so the homosexual community boycotted the restaurant. It was one of the earlier united political "statements" that the community made in Los Angeles. It is almost comparable to a Woolworth's lunch counter in the Passionate Eaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492203392706191554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11085649.post-1137689036084801782006-01-19T08:43:00.000-08:002006-01-19T08:43:00.000-08:00D,I actually wrote a list of foods I categorically...D,<BR/>I actually wrote a list of foods I categorically dislike.
