The Los Angeles Valley diner where David Lynch and Mark Frost conceived of Twin Peaks is closing

Eater LA

Du-Par’s Restaurant and Bakery in Studio City, a fixture of the entertainment industry since 1948, is closing its doors in three weeks. The diner holds an important place in Twin Peaks history. As Lynch once recalled, “we were at Du Par's, the coffee shop at the corner of Laurel Canyon and Ventura and all of a sudden, Mark Frost and I had this image of a body wrapped in plastic washing up on the shore of a lake."
