My grandmother always said you haven’t made it in this town until you get your own item on a menu. Well, we’d like to take a moment to congratulate ‘friend of the Truffle’ RJ Williams, founder of Young Hollywood and permanent Four Seasons hotel resident, who recently had his own salad added to the hotel bar menu over the summer.

He can now join the ranks of legendary entertainment attorney Neil McCarthy (who has the McCarthy Salad at the Polo Lounge), producer Jerry Weintraub (who has the Spaghetti Clams at Il Piccolino), Nicky Hilton (who has a Chopped Salad at Dan Tana’s) and Gigi Delmaestro (who has the Gigi Salad at The Palm).

Within the Four Seasons Los Angeles, tucked away on an upper floor with red curtains and glowing blue lights (that you can even see from the street), lies YoungHollywood.com‘s broadcast studio and VIP lounge, which includes a room for edit bays and a newly added movie screening/green room.
