Celebrities at Madre's
In the beginning, Madre's was the place to be seen. They were booked for months, and you had to "know somebody" to get a reservation.
Many Hollywood assistants to A-list stars were making trips to Madre's to try to get their boss a table because the restaurant didn't even answer their phone and the voice mail was full, according to a Los Angeles Times article.
