"I've been going to Carneys for the past two years and besides the food being delicious, the owner John, he's one of my biggest fans," she told Localish.

"We started coming here after auditions and we noticed that every time we came here to eat she would book something," Baez's father said. "So it kind of became like this routine - she was booking every time we would come here."

Carneys on Sunset has become a landmark over the years. Since being founded in 1975 by John Wolfe, Sr. J John chose to build a restaurant out of an old Pacific Railroad passenger train. Being a former radio executive, he understood the importance of lasting impressions and being different. Not only was John good at publicity but he could also cook amazing burgers and hot dogs.

So what does this up and coming start order at Carneys?

"I have to have a double cheeseburger, hold everything except for ketchup. I also have delicious chili cheese fries, three chocolate chip cookies and a diet coke because I need to stay in shape!"

The restaurant has been featured in NCIS Los Angeles, Entourage, Grand Theft Auto not to mention countless food and travel shows.
