0:16
inviting you to join me
0:18
shalyah since I'm gonna be doing a
0:20
little walking moving all the items out
0:23
of that one bag into the backpack
0:39
quite a bit of places down here are are
0:39
open I would say probably 80 to 85% and
0:43
even the antique malls are starting to
0:47
open back up there are requirements
0:49
however
0:58
speaking of I think I'd look pretty good
0:58
behind the wheel of this thing there it
1:00
is straight ahead corner of lemon and
1:03
Chapman a classic old-school
1:07
establishment if ever there was one the
1:10
last word and find food Omega drive-in
1:33
I have eaten here once before actually
1:33
I've eaten here probably two or three
1:35
times before but it has been a while and
1:37
the the meal I consumed was of the
1:41
breakfast proportion I've never had one
1:45
of their burgers and or any other items
1:48
but I do believe it is time there goes a
1:52
bus you know see bus well that guy was
1:59
going fast across over there so before
2:04
before doing that
2:06
taking a look in this window with some
2:08
other classic automobiles
2:27
just love all the old signage around
2:27
these parts perfect example this thing
2:29
has seen some years
2:37
not the alpha not the not the beginning
2:37
but the end all I really know where I'm
2:40
going with that Charl char not chocolate
2:45
charbroiled burgers they have astronomy
2:49
they have tacos this drive-thru exit
2:54
side bordering on antique status also
3:00
have takeout at the moment and look at
3:03
that beauty up there on the roof line
3:13
so good directly across from the post
3:13
office
3:13
the orange post office where I used to
3:17
have a P o box way back in the day used
3:20
to go in there all the time I don't have
3:23
the P o box anymore turned it off maybe
3:26
one day I'll get another one
3:27
for the time being no post office box
3:31
for me who's fun while laughing
3:41
okay I'm getting a little hungry I can
3:41
so I can smell the flavors emitting from
3:44
this place there is a nice nice waft
3:47
eNOS of edible goodness in the air and
3:51
going in along the exterior are some of
3:55
the so the options they have when it
3:58
comes to food oh wow
4:06
there is a pay phone in there and the
4:06
tables the tables are not taped off
4:15
oh yeah this is a nice little addition
4:15
that it holds school newspaper racks
4:19
here also nice yeah I'll do a combo you
4:23
have to go please
4:25
that's my receipt right there at the
4:28
combo burger combo I was going to get a
4:32
water but they offered a soda cup so I
4:34
take it
4:43
against if I so choose I could eat
4:43
indoors they do have half of the tables
4:47
open but I'm gonna go down to the circle
4:49
and eat at the moment they are preparing
4:52
my items I'm getting getting getting
4:54
excited ooh I can feel they eat coming
4:59
off this thing
5:00
it's just exuding office out of it out
5:04
of the bag
5:05
oh you know it's good when the grease is
5:09
already starting to permeate the
5:13
structural stability of this duro 6 and
5:17
as I walk away noticing this little
5:21
information placard here for the orange
5:24
streetcars that used to go right through
5:25
here the Pacific Electric Depot seen
5:28
here was constructed on this site in
5:31
1918 this is the view at the moment
5:36
between Cypress and lemon Street you are
5:40
here and the circle is right there just
5:44
a short stone's throw from the last word
5:49
and find food the Omega drive-in serving
5:54
an array a plethora of menu options
6:02
what I gots in here if you want to get
6:02
really technical it's about ten yards
6:05
about thirty feet from the cusp of where
6:07
the orange Plaza historic district
6:10
technically begins
6:23
speaking of old signage the hoffman
6:23
radiator service is not neon but the
6:27
district lounge so many classic cars
6:41
nice shaded bench here this little bench
6:41
area with a backdrop of the fountain
6:47
completely dropped the ball on the not
6:50
drinking not drinking as much soda first
6:54
I wasn't going to this if you want the
6:55
combo and I said yeah I want the combo
6:59
and then looking at what they had as far
7:02
as options out of the fountain machine
7:03
it was all it's all soda so Dr Pepper
7:06
for me
7:14
and this is what we're dealing with it's
7:14
just kind of all piled up in its glory
7:16
down in their also provided they
7:20
provided some napkins some teeny-tiny
7:22
napkins but a stack of them so I should
7:24
should help me keep my keep keep them
7:27
making too much of a mess and this
7:29
dipping sauce which might be a type of a
7:33
ranch ish something in the ranch family
7:36
for these oh yeah these are not fries Oh
7:40
No that's something different well they
7:42
are they are they are fries but they are
7:44
not but you potato fries they are
7:46
zucchini fries
7:54
oh yeah starting to drip this little bag
7:54
that zucchini fry in my mouth
8:05
not on the close proximity to anything
8:05
healthy either so I'm gonna have to go
8:06
light on these maybe not eat all of them
8:09
look at that
8:21
those were a good call I want to save
8:21
about half of this for much later so eat
8:24
half of an out half of it later but I
8:27
have to get the I have to get the bread
8:29
and the burger item out of the bottom of
8:33
there hopefully know how to go about
8:35
doing this I guess I could I could pile
8:37
them on there and then put them back in
8:38
but I would I'd have to place these all
8:41
around make a makeshift little section
8:45
here I've got a better idea
8:46
I'll just consume a few more of these
8:48
which will open up a side section there
8:52
where I can reach my hand in pull the
8:55
burger out that's the plan for stripping
8:58
got it
9:07
cut the lettuce got a tomato we got I
9:07
did I could have got the double but I
9:08
opted for just the one patty you know
9:10
I'm doing my best
9:11
well not my best but I'm doing better
9:13
than I could be a little toasted bun
9:15
almost looks like it's saying eat eat
9:19
eat this burger
9:22
well you're the burger I know but I want
9:24
it but I want you to I might be hidden
9:26
in the Shroud of shadow nests under this
9:28
shade tree right here the Omega burger
9:32
well it's the burger from Omega drive-in
9:35
which took it upon myself to call the
9:37
Omega burger but it's it's about to
9:40
happen and all its delicious looking
9:43
goodness toasted bun lettuce thinker
9:48
some onions on there
9:49
nope no onions oder some kind of got its
9:52
own sauce let's go tot
10:12
and they say charbroiled kind of reminds
10:12
me about a home homestyle like you
10:14
something you'd make you know at your
10:16
house grill hamburgers are an unusual
10:19
thing they're all saying they are an
10:22
unusual thing how they all taste the
10:24
same but they all taste a little
10:26
different
10:45
all right saving this this little bit
10:45
for later taking this home with me press
10:48
it up fits nicely down in the backpack
11:09
there's the owner of that car I was
11:09
eyeballing earlier at some point I might
11:12
to try to figure out another another way
11:14
to be eating because how to make such a
11:18
mess well look
11:23
classic cars everywhere around here if
11:23
there's gonna be if I'm gonna be putting
11:26
food into my face and filming myself
11:30
sitting on the bench and not having a
11:33
flat table service and not having a
11:36
tripod that's tall enough I'm most
11:37
likely gonna just going to be the drift
11:39
all over my torso and or dining is
11:41
starting to open up however so that
11:43
could possibly be an option even though
11:45
I'm kind of enjoying the the mood of
11:48
this series where I get takeout and pick
11:50
up and then find a park to eat at them I
11:52
know a lot of people will sit in their
11:54
car and eat film themselves doing a
11:58
little review that's not really my forte
12:02
I'm a big big advocate of being out and
12:07
about in the air
12:11
feeling the fresh breeze not saying I
12:14
haven't or will not in the future eat
12:18
inside my mobile but if if the option to
12:22
not do so is there I will take that
12:24
option be out and about I'd also like to
12:28
focus on and moderately feature
12:35
places that a lot might not know about
12:35
like mom-and-pop establishments and even
12:40
some types of foods I'm not used to
12:42
normally eating even some healthier
12:44
options I am not opposed to so we'll see
12:48
what happens it could could go that
12:50
route but I am having fun with this
12:52
series and that's going to do it for
12:53
today if you enjoyed this particular
12:55
