The Zep Diner, a Popular Eating Place at Hollywood Modeled on the Lines of a Zeppelin, in the 1930s

The Zep Diner 1

The Zep Diner, a Zeppelin-shaped eatery, opened in Los Angeles in the early 1930s at 515 W. Florence Avenue near S. Figueroa.

Known for its round-the-clock hours and signature “Hinden Burger,” it quickly became a local landmark. The diner reflected the era’s fascination with air travel, especially the iconic German airships like the LZ 129 Hindenburg, which offered transatlantic flights and captured public imagination.

Though the Zep Diner, like the airships it honored, is now gone, replaced by a McDonald’s parking lot, its legacy endures as a nostalgic tribute to a time when architecture and dining celebrated the marvels of modern aviation.
