The True Legend of LG

Leon “LG” Greenberg lived life to the fullest as a public servant, an entrepreneur and a larger-
than-life host who made everyone feel welcome. LG had a zest for life. He lied about his age to
enlist in the Navy during World War II. He became a State Trooper in North Carolina, during
which time he served as Ava Gardner’s body guard. He started the retail chain 5-7-9 and eventually
moved to Southern California where he retired after selling a successful insurance agency.

Not content to while away his retirement years, LG combined his love of entertaining with
his search for a good steak in the Coachella Valley by opening the first LG’s Prime Steak-
house in 1991 in an historic 1948 adobe building on Highway 111 in Palm Desert.
Awards and loyal patrons followed, and two additional locations – one in Palm Springs and
one in La Quinta – were added. LG became a local celebrity, mingling with customers and
having his picture taken in one of his signature sweaters.

Leon “LG” Greenberg 1924-2009

LG’s legacy continues today under the watchful eye of his wife and partner of 34 years, Gail.
“Our world-famous tableside Caesar salad is LG’s original recipe from our backyard cookouts,”
says Gail proudly. “My staff and I are continuing LG’s unwavering dedication to service to
insure that every guest has an unforgettable experience. Thank you for having dinner with us.”

THE AWARD OF
EXCELLENCE
FROM
DISTINGUISHED
RESTAURANTS OF
TM NORTH AMERICA

LG’s is honored to be named on Tom Horan’s America’s Top Ten Hall of Fame list as one of the Best of the
Best for 2010. LG’s is also the proud recipient of the DiRona Award, which is presented to the most
distinguished restaurants of North America and the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.

WHY PRIME ?
It’s so simple. Prime is the best.
Prime is the highest grade given by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture. LG’s Prime
Steaks have the necessary marbling
to deliver that great taste and texture
which gives our guests a remarkable
Steak-Eating experience.
All of
the steaks we serve are USDA PRIME ONLY,
Midwestern corn-fed beef, fresh and never
frozen, aged to perfection. Our Prime Steaks
are trimmed right here in our kitchen.
We honestly believe that there is no better
tasting steak than a USDA prime steak
prepared the way LG’s does it.
