  • Right next to the old Egyptian Theater on Hollywood Blvd., this classic diner has been restored to its former glory. Huell is joined by the new owner, members from the LA Conservancy, Hollywood Heritage, as well as a few old timers - who remember it from way back when. Hollywood really is making a comeback.

    My grandfather's first job when he came here to America in the 1920's was @ "The Pig & Whistle." I am so happy that it's still going strong!!! ❤️⏳🐷🌈

      @@huey555k I think it’s now closed and again was sold. They took off the name too. Sucks. Places like this shouldn’t be torn down, it’s history.

      It was recently gutted by moron Jose Cueva and turned into a crappy new restaurant.

    The name Pig ‘n Whistle was a clever homonym play on the Old English words “piggin,” which is a wooden bucket, and “wassail,” which is mulled cider, so phonetically the name means “Bucket of Mulled Cider” in Old English.

      The 1933 Group helped bring The Formosa back to its original glory after it was ruined by some 30-year old developers. Maybe one day ...
