Lawrence L. Frank and Walter Van de Kamp co-founded the original Lawry's The Prime Rib on La Cienega Boulevard in Beverly Hills. Much of the splendor of the meal was in the way each part of the dinner was prepared and presented. Even the showman, Lawrence designed the famous "silver" carts so that the beef could be carved at tableside.
Through the years, the basic elements of Lawry's The Prime Rib have remained virtually unchanged. It is still a family business, with the second and third generations of Franks and Van de Kamps working side by side in the restaurants' operation. Modifications and improvements have been made to meet today's demands, but the meals served remain timeless-and still very much Lawry's.
