An IP editor has without comment deleted some sections here. I'm not sure of the significance - all content should be cited to reliable sources, and can be challenged or deleted if verifiability is in serious question. I'm adding it here to the talk page in case anyone would care to take a crack at sourcing this and/or rewriting it in sourceable fashion. Thanks, Wikidemon (talk) 00:50, 9 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • With its lush paneled walls and stately uniformed wait staff Chasen's was a worthy sanctuary for its elite guests. Eventually, the restaurant grew to an immense size with multiple rooms, multiple bars and an upstairs banquet hall called the New Yorker room. This room was frequently used by the Rat Pack to provide extra privacy for their late-night escapades. At one time the restaurant even included a sauna and a full-time barber. The Shirley Temple cocktail was invented at Chasen’s for its namesake who was too young to drink alcohol, and Donna Summer came up with the idea for the song “She Works Hard for the Money” after talking to the bathroom attendant Onetta Jackson. Jackson appears on the album artwork appearing to smile at Summer, who is in a waitress uniform.
