Uncredited right ?? Thanks for pointing that out. :) Also here's a related question since we're discussing photographic references. In TM pg 53, there is reference to the Flame Restaurant (with Famous Jungle Bar). Where was that located? I'm familiar with the defunct Las Vegas Flame (the original, not the current one in the El Cortez). Clearly these are are different signs so I'm assuming this was a common steakhouse name in the mid-century.
