The Silver Lake restaurant staple, Casita del Campo, has been serving margaritas for 60 years. And the downstairs theater, The Cavern Club, hosts raucous drag shows. A new TikTok series began as a way for kids to get news, then became a collection of lost stories of classic LA restaurants and fun food facts. Gillian Chamberlin, a 17-year-old senior from the San Gabriel Valley, is one of the five talented storytellers found through KCRW’s Young Creators Project. She creates poetry, music, and film.
