um, there's a brown derby in Disney MGM Studios.

which one's which

This article needs to be rewritten or at least cleaned up. Half way through, all four restaurants are just referred to as "The Derby". It gets confusing as to which one is closed, moved, remodeled as a night club, and closed again. This was written by someone who already knows the history of the restaurants and so they jump from one to the other; the article was not proofred by an outsider. Perhaps a separate section for each one that clearly explains its history from creation to the current day.

Clarification and an update is definitely needed. I noticed the owners of The Derby posted a message on their web site, telling people they're not in danger of being shut down. JMarkievicz2 23:42, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

The problem starts with the third paragraph. Beginning with the word "it," which seems to refer to the Cobb salad discussed in paragraph two, but which must reference the restaurant itself, the remainder of paragraph three is ambiguous as to whether its information applies to the subject of the article or to the restaurant in Malverne, New York.

What about the Brown Derby chain?

This article doesn't mention the Brown Derby chain restaurants throughout the United States as well as the Brown Derby Roadhouses. Buzda 06:55, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


Inconsistent with Cobb Salad Article

The description of the origins of the Cobb Salad in this article differ from the description given in the Cobb Salad article.

Fire

Was there ever a fire at any of the Brown Derbys? Punette (talk) 04:44, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

There was a fire at the Hollywood location in the late 80s, a vacant building. The restaurant had been closed a number of years at that time. In the early 90s, the building was torn down and replaced with a parking lot. Currently, the entire block is under construction for a multi-use development. Nita&j (talk) 13:17, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

"Buzz"?

This sentence is vague and confusing, who is "Buzz"? "The shell of the Brown Derby was restored and placed on top of the strip mall that took its spot at 3377 Wilshire Boulevard. It is now painted orange and home to Buzz." Cs302b (talk) 23:05, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
