Steven Spielberg’s mom, Leah Adler, ran The Milky Way, a kosher dairy restaurant in LA where she greeted every guest with, “You’re eating in my home!” Known for her humor and warmth, Leah’s spot became a hub for Jewish pride, great food, and surprise Spielberg sightings when Steven visited every Sunday.

With Spielberg memorabilia on the walls and Leah sharing stories about raising “her most expensive child,” the restaurant radiated charm. Guests left with full hearts, great meals, and often a brush with Hollywood magic, thanks to Leah’s unforgettable spirit.
