This photo is of George Salisbury (Far Right) standing with three of his close friends outside of the Western location. Pene (Far Left) owned the French Laundry directly across from El Cholo and his daughter still remains a friend of the family to this day. Carl Anders (Middle Left) was a fellow Los Angeles restaurateur who owned Carl’s Restaurants which were a combination of regular restaurants and a drive in. Finally Rudy Montesorino (Middle Right) owned Rudy’s Italian Inn, an Italian restaurant on Western Avenue about a mile south of El Cholo. Reputable business entrepreneurs of their time, standing together in Los Angeles.
