WHAT’S UP WITH THAT

The Truth About Carmel Restaurants was published in 1982 by Michael B. Smith and includes defunct spots like Billy Quon’s, The Clam Box, Fishhouse on the Park, The Grunion Run, Paolina, Rendez-Vous Cafe and El Topo. There are a handful of surviving eateries like Anton & Michel, Casanova and Flaherty’s­ – and longtime Clint Eastwood spot, The Hog’s Breath Inn. “Inside, the decor is rough and wooden,” the description reads in part, “much like Mr. Eastwood’s acting.”
