I've got ten matchbooks at least. My favorite was THE ZAMBOANGA - "Home of The Tailess Monkey" (it was a tropical drink). The only one on La Cienega was "STEAR'S". The matchbook states: "In harmony with the Pacific theme evident in the decor, the rebuilt Stear's has added outstanding dishes from countries bordering the Pacific - to enhance its reputation for the Stear's specialty: charcoal-broiled steaks". Is this the place? Sabu
