Regarding The Munch Box.

When development threatened to close the restaurant in the early 2000’s, the community wrote 1,700 letters and petitions to the city council, urging that the burger stand be placed on the list of Cultural-Historical landmarks. In his motion to preserve the building, councilman Hal Bernson wrote, “The landmark is an integral part of the old Chatsworth community and a direct link with its past. These types of establishments that once abounded virtually no longer exist and are only seen in old photographs or movie clips.”
