Inside Mr. Chow’s Golden Anniversary Celebration in Los Angeles

It’s impossible to think of Los Angeles without Michael Chow, who over the course of his time in the city has not only positioned himself at the center of art, film, music, and entertainment, but has also built the restaurant that welcomes some of the most influential creatives from around the world. This past weekend, all of the coolest Angelenos through the years came out in large numbers to toast Mr. Chow and the staple’s 50th anniversary. Heidi Klum, Billy Idol, and Al Pacino mingled about the cocktail reception with the likes of Jerry Hall, Anjelica Huston, Quincy Jones, and Stevie Wonder.
