welcome everyone atoms of whoo here for
0:03
the first time in a week I will be
0:06
exiting my homestead and going out into
0:10
the world for the start of a new series
0:12
where I just go into the areas of Orange
0:16
County California maybe even into LA and
0:21
it will be a progression to get food to
0:24
see what is open for walk in for
0:27
take-out things are starting to progress
0:30
a little and I like to eat I'm gonna
0:35
head down to the orange circle
0:37
momentarily and take you along with me
0:39
if you so choose I'm inviting you to
0:42
join me shall you just need to put my
0:47
shoes on there and I'm taking all this
0:51
along with me inside the satchel is
0:57
something I can lay on the ground picnic
0:59
style because a lot of places are not
1:02
available to eat endorsed in this this
1:05
little route 66 throw rug spreads out
1:11
vastly also have some sanitizer a couple
1:15
masks extra batteries and these Lysol
1:19
wipes know just in case you never know
1:22
what I will what I will witness it is an
1:26
odd feeling to have tennis shoes on
1:28
again it's the first
1:29
first time in a few days I have arrived
1:34
to the historic district
1:36
I have never regarded myself as much of
1:39
a food reviewer I do like to consume
1:43
stuff into the belly but this whole
1:46
thing is going to be a little bit new a
1:48
new experience but I think it'll be fun
1:52
I'm just basically going to show what is
1:54
accessible and open for take-out or
1:57
drive-through whether I can walk to it
1:59
whether I can ride a bike whether I can
2:00
get in my car and drive to said places
2:03
show where they are do a little eat a
2:06
meal give my honest opinion and then but
2:11
in doing so finding a spot to just kind
2:13
of camp out that is allowed to camp out
2:17
and chow down and I'm not really sure
2:19
the policy on these but I wear them
2:20
until I'm eating or until I'm nowhere
2:23
near any other folks oh wow looks like
2:26
Starbucks has opened its doors as well
2:28
last time I was down here that wasn't
2:31
the case things are moving forward even
2:33
have a little blocks down here for the
2:36
spacing out now I probably on some of
2:39
these episodes will meet up with friends
2:41
not a large congregation just a few and
2:45
we will keep our distance of sorts
2:55
but it's good to get out oh it was like
2:55
this little painting down here
2:57
it's a little mural on the metal that's
3:00
a metal wall I was informed recently by
3:02
a few folks that the neon sign that used
3:05
to be here at this former location is
3:07
going to go back up even though the
3:08
location is not going to return that
3:10
historic sign there
3:11
they used to be dangling from the end
3:13
will return soon I hope that's true
3:15
oh this is good news the barber shop is
3:18
open as well as some of these antique
3:22
stores heck yeah it is really good to
3:25
see all this I got to be honest very
3:27
good to see where I'm going to be
3:29
sitting is pretty obvious right over
3:32
there in the middle of the circle next
3:34
to the fountain now there are a lot of
3:35
places down here open for business so
3:37
this might be a recurring location
3:40
however for this episode
3:48
it revolves around Watson's soda
3:48
fountain and cafe which is open one of
3:51
the many things I love about this area
3:52
in this neighborhood look at this
3:54
classic vehicle right there just cruise
3:58
and buy the subject at hand if you look
4:02
down and there tucked away against the
4:04
wall there is some documentation of said
4:07
films and whatnot including Benchwarmers
4:11
that thing you do and quite a few other
4:14
ones not all of them are listed are
4:16
listed on there even a even a Burt
4:18
Reynolds episode of a movie normally
4:21
there are tables out front but they have
4:22
kind of festooned the area with a lot of
4:25
this classic nostalgia in the tables
4:28
place and look who decided to join the
4:31
party
4:32
you know from moderately from afar all
4:36
the way from all the way from I almost
4:38

4:43

4:46

4:48
looking at Watson's here what do you
4:51

4:53
a little hmm I you know I'm always a fan
4:56
of a picture menu it's gas ready okay
5:00

5:02

5:04
yeah that's for the order seven I'm not
5:07
patient I need to get this SATA to join
5:08
myself party here you have to wait and
5:12

5:14
a way I'm touching before I finally do
5:16
that which I'm around anybody bring the
5:18
bring the good vibes Patrick is here in
5:22
the with the best of my knowledge for

6:12
then not so distant future and get my
6:14
hair cut this barbershop is also open
6:17
someone's in there right now getting the
6:19
trim that is what I'm talking about you
6:21
just like I don't think there's ever
6:22
been a time I've been out here and I
6:24
have not seen a classic car like this
6:27
just cruising through the plaza slash
6:30
circle there he is Dylan he has made it
6:33
and he says you were saying off-camera
6:35
it's been 10 years has she been down to
6:37
there weren't circle all right it is now
6:47
time to order gonna go look at a menu I
6:49
guess I could have done that ahead of
6:51
time I'm gonna go look at a menu and get
6:53
a little takeout now there's a company
6:55
I've never heard of Dorn's
6:57
Dorn's Mountain Bartlett's I guess that
7:00
would be some sort
7:01
some sort of citrus and above it is
7:04
Salman fresh Salman in that packet
7:05
alright a step forward just a little bit
7:07
now and it says here that also Don
7:09
Knotts Shelley hack and Jimmy Smith's
7:12
even President George Bush stopped off
7:15
here for one of the famous malts
7:18
check this out it's like an old
7:19
switchboard for a telephone this place
7:21
has a very classic vibe over in this
7:24
corner or some framed some framed
7:26
paraphernalia some classic photos and
7:28
that thing you do poster here's the
7:30
plaza circa nineteen twenty-two meal is
7:34
being prepared as we speak decided to
7:38
just step outside and enjoy the fresh
7:40
air while I waited few old-school
7:42
medicine bottles here behind this glass
7:45
case did you say it almost feels normal
7:54
it's one of those interesting feelings
7:54
that when you know the food is almost
7:56
ready the hunger heightens it grows I am
8:00
I am ready I'm hungry definitely hungry
8:02
just as I was stating there goes there
8:05
goes another one I know they're just
8:09
everywhere look at that my grenadine
8:12
filled coca-cola with cherries in there
8:17
old school so I'm using the world old
8:19
old school out today
8:21
old school soda fountain style as you
8:24
can tell have my bag full of goodies
8:27
here equipped with plastic silverware
8:29
napkins and all the delectable edible
8:32
items finding a little grassy section
8:37
I'm gonna use the side of this tree as a
8:40
little back support pull out the blanket
8:42
and my picnic area will be right about
8:45
here this really does cover a lot of
8:48
space on the ground this route 66 little
8:53
throw well that's a little too much
9:02
and this is what I'm dealing with I got
9:06
the fries I got looks like there's some
9:08
there's a lot of cheese some guacamole
9:12
on there some bacon perhaps wrapped up
9:15
in this newspaper oh yeah this this
9:19
looks I got a leg over the top of this
9:25
in the middle I have to use my I'm gonna
9:28
use the zoom here going in bacon avocado
9:32
burger that's what I got I got the old
9:35
town it's that kind of the same thing I
9:38
wonder what the difference is
9:40
is it avocado the same as guacamole
9:43
that's made out of like I'm always made
9:46
out of avocados right is it the same
9:56
I mean look Becky has guacamole on her
9:56
breath like tomatoes but it's made from
10:01
from okay so I have avocado on here and
10:06
you so we got the same thing well mines
10:08
called the old town but I know when he
10:10
ordered it he didn't say old town so I
10:13
wonder what this point I'm not really
10:18
concerned with it cuz it looks tasty no
10:19
matter what it is oh wait
10:24
I ordered tots and I got fries you got
10:28
tots yes I got fries wait do I have
10:36
yours yeah cuz that does kind of look
10:39
like the old town yeah what is I think
10:42
they may have mixed it up yeah I got at
10:46
this point it doesn't really matter I'll
10:47
just eat what I have you have eat what
10:50
you have Spencer eat what he has a katie
