welcome everyone Adam the Wu here today
0:03
number seven of this current temporary
0:07
series where I venture around to
0:10
Southern California eateries that are
0:13
currently open for take-out
0:16
drive-through or to go orders I'm
0:20
heading up to Los Angeles I'm inviting
0:22
you to join me shall you putting all
0:26
these accessories in this bag has worked
0:28
out pretty good my batteries you know
0:32
and an assortment of other things that
0:36
are usable yeah you're right big the
0:41
foot we're almost there
0:43
there goes the metro rail plenty of
0:48
parking I found a spotter we needed one
0:51
and it is created specifically for the
0:57
original Tommy's and not just the
0:59
original Tommy's but the first original
1:02
Tommy's which sits right over there on
1:03
that corner that Shack those walls could
1:08
talk it would be a tasty conversation
1:11
and this is a rather interesting
1:14
pull a piece of art deathcore here right
1:17
across the street
1:18
caddy corner from the location
1:22
is that someone riding a sea creature of
1:27
some sort I'm hearing some conversation
1:29
over there
1:31
it's deacon how are you doing the
1:35
moonwalk on the corner of rampart RA M
1:38
PA RT and the 2600 block of Beverly
1:46
Boulevard
1:48
that's the crossroads now I have eaten
1:50
at this establishment before when I used
1:52
to live in Hollywood right on the
1:54
boulevard sets one next to the 101
1:56
freeway but this is the first and the
2:02
place I have wanted to see with my own
2:04
eyes for quite a while
2:07
the one that started it all that's
2:10
spinning little mechanism there is
2:12
really it's pretty good I love that this
2:15
chap is where it started back in 1946 46
2:18
46 a man named Tom cool and I know a lot
2:22
of people identify with in and out as
2:25
the iconic fell
2:27
yeah a lot of residents would have a
2:32
different opinion especially here in
2:34
this area so anybody who's grown up here
2:37
has probably seen something crazy go
2:39
down or another including myself
2:43
there's also been a ton of movies shot
2:45
here including Grandma's Boy okay
2:48
the only scene that wasn't shot on the
2:50
soundstage was shot here in this parking
2:52
lot
2:52
this yeah they call it the shack they
2:55
also it also says right on the side of
2:57
the cup sand and bags if you don't see
3:02
the shaft take it back there are more
3:04
knockoffs and pretend fake Tommy's yeah
3:07
there's any other chick you see a tommy
3:09
side without the shack logo on it you
3:12
know it's an imposter and the bill
3:14
differently
3:15
everything France Belleville
3:19
but this is the real talk this is the
3:21
real one and I'm pretty happy about this
3:23
because I've had Tommy's in my old
3:25
neighborhood but I've never had the
3:26
first Tommy's a little bit later in the
3:29
years bought the rest of this premise
3:31
where they've added on to it but when it
3:34
started it was just this one little spot
3:36
here on this corner so this was
3:38
something else and the Shack was just
3:40
kind of its own little standalone unit
3:45
doesn't get much cooler than this and
3:47
there's a view of the parking lot there
3:49
just across the way and then on the
3:52
other caddy corner is some more signage
3:55
stating the 74th anniversary was on May
3:59
the 15th of 2020 so not to not too long
4:02
ago was the 74th anniversary
4:18
naturally during these times they have
4:18
some certain little precautions
4:27
deikun is jumping I'm not sure if that's
4:27
what those are for but that works keeps
4:29
things fun and now this neon doesn't
4:32
have a photo or a description of the
4:35
shack probably because it was here
4:37
before others started to emulate and
4:40
utilize the name how long do you think
4:44
this has been up here for a while
4:45
there's like a recreation you think it's
4:47
like do you remember that from your from
4:51
the old good old days
5:01
lefse Fiat oh it's actually blinking
5:01
they have it on even though it's during
5:02
the daylight hours even though it's
5:04
lunchtime
5:04
it is blinking there with the little
5:06
yellow bulbs kind of take a peek there
5:09
through the screen just how teeny and
5:11
tiny the quarters are with the workers
5:14
creating some delicious meals a delivery
5:19
of hamburger buns going in
5:35
but look at the menu up there
5:35
I think I might get a double-double
5:39
cheeseburger
5:40
oh yeah I don't know I'm gonna
5:41
impulsively choose when I get get up
5:44
there a little tape around or the eating
5:47
area sometimes this you stand know if
5:52
you can see it I'll be stand over there
5:53
they got the napkin dispensers and they
5:55
also have a little little kind of table
5:58
area that sits about you know chest high
6:00
give or take
6:12
oh they search chili to go awesome you
6:12
take some home right there's the chili
6:15

8:22
fountain drink
9:15
I go across the street find a spot to
9:15
find the spot to eat what do you think
9:19
pop it up in the parking area found a
9:23
nice little shaded area which is still

9:45
the double patty or just single patty
9:48

10:41
single wait no you know I think you know
10:44
what I don't know I got it
10:45
I got a taste it look at the sliced
10:48
onions on there pickles tomato double or
10:52
a single I can't recall you think I
10:54
think my memory would be a little bit
10:56
better about doing it by the way it's
10:58
going down it's going down this is gonna
11:01
be very messy I probably should have
11:03
left the wrapper on okay give me a
11:05
countdown count five four three two
11:26
surely that's pretty dang good
11:26
the chili really adds to the burger I
11:28
like burgers anyway the pickles are
11:33
tasty and I like onions I like more
11:35
onions of the average person
11:46
I loved it they made an error in
11:46
judgment it didn't grab me napkins
11:48
that might be I might be a big mistake
11:57
in the tummy as I normally go to the
11:57
valley is the one that's right across
11:59
the street from the anheuser-busch
12:00
Factory
12:01
okay the anheuser-busch factory used to
12:05
be an amusement park used to be
12:10
amusement park Kyle Busch Gardens they
12:13
had all kinds of rides and now it's just
12:16
all factory warehouses and stuff over
12:18
there and that's right that's your local
12:20
Tommy's now yeah how many times do you
12:26
think you've eaten Tommy's in your
12:27
lifetime I don't even think I could
12:30
answer that I think the very first time
12:32
I had Tommy is I was like four or five
12:42
I'm still chowing down
12:42
and I don't even know how to what is the
12:45
proper etiquette
12:46
look at this I thought it has already
12:47
broken apart oh you gotta use the fork
12:49
how I use the fork
12:50
yeah there's no way that okay fork use
12:52
the fork you use you want this don't you
13:01
man that is a lot of this is not a
13:06
healthy snack on the health ratio this
13:12
is probably not gonna make me thinner
13:15
vicinities again you will be using but
13:19
this is comfort food that's what we need
13:21
right now is some serious comfort food
13:25
Jillian brickbats a big fat
13:36
no VAT v80 the v8 e or via TT it's a VAT
13:36
okay my turn
13:38
oh I thought there was more on there was
13:41
more on that than that we get a bigger
13:43
chunk
13:56
there's some good chili
13:56
now I've been to other places that are
13:58
known for their chili and they serve
14:00
canned chili of their flavor to these
14:02
sir pan chili or is it just you get it
14:04
fresh you got to get them in the
14:07
packaging and have it all hot and steamy
14:08
Oh
14:19
come sit drive something big back
14:19
oh really hole on the shoulder almost
14:22
like a bag of feed interesting and then
14:25
they cook it in the VAT the VA t da TT
14:30
heat it up and they just pour it out of
14:33
the bat onto the fries onto the sliced
14:35
potatoes
14:37

14:39
