I have wondered about the Flying Saucer's name and whether it was, as the name and art work suggested, winged dinnerware, or something spawned by news from Roswell in '47 and unidentified food objects. If, the name was not a double entendre, the design is wholly misplaced and the joke is on ____ ?
FWIW, Wimpy Grills had three listings in '42
160 N. Main Street; 5425 Wilshire; and 116 W. 5th Street.
By '56 The Flying Saucer was at the Wilshire location. Wimpy had three different listings: 510 S. Hill ; 715 S. Hill St.; and 1212 1/2 South Central Ave. (Commissary?)
