The Rosebud

I believe there was an old film set in the Rosebud diner, right? Which was it?
Is there a whole history somewhere of the place?
my google/goodsearch-fu isn't giving me an answer.
Thanks!

Please tell me you've heard of Citizen Kane and the importance of the name "Rosebud" to its central mystery!

As the real story in regards to Hearst, yes, that should be censored.

So, seriously, the word "Rosebud" is central to the movie Citizen Kane — but in the movie it's not a diner.

Hmm, thank you.
I think there was a conversation about that, how it's both. Or maybe i've been had. So how long has the Rosebud been around in reality?

1940s I think, but don't hold me to that.

That's what i thought, which is why the comments confused me.
