0:27
my sweet cap for a little shade on the
0:32
knockin you're right big the foot the
0:35
freeway does end up here and a half a
0:37
mile parking lots are much busier than
0:41
last time I was here that week or two
0:44
ago when technically the beaches were
0:47
not accessible but they are now things
0:50
are progressing and plenty of people are
0:52
out enjoying the sights sounds and surf
0:57

1:01
Charlie's Chili celebrated 50 years back
1:04
in 2017 opened in 1967 and they have
1:09
tables that you can sit on Jay is here
1:12
as well this was actually his suggestion
1:15
cuz we were here I didn't I don't
1:17
remember the calendar but you member how
1:18
long ago was we were here riding our
1:20
bikes around semi recently maybe 10 days
1:22
or so more in cognate in fact I got this
1:24
hat right over there
1:27
at that surf shop that was open it was
1:29
one of the few things that were over but
1:30
now there's a lot more open in place
1:32
looks like it - he's getting a beehive
1:34
of activity to be so real beehive so
1:37
they have breakfast they have lunch
1:39
they have chili bats of chili I love a
1:42
fan of chili I've heard a variety of
1:44
notions on how to keep the glasses from
1:47
fogging up and I have not personally
1:49
tried any of them yet they really get
1:53
fogged up when you take them off and ah
1:55
like I see I can see very well now I
1:58
can't but when I put it back on is
2:01
that's when that's when it really starts
2:04
to get hazy in the lenses I think the
2:06
secret is to get your glasses yes you
2:09
take the lenses out then you put your
2:11
glasses back on no father
2:12
booms PAC glasses back at first I was
2:17
thinking we'd be able to walk out to the
2:18
end of the Newport pier but whoa that
2:22
bird just flew by but it looks as if the
2:24
the gate is closed
2:37
was another one they're landing it's a
2:37
seagull there are pigeons and there are
2:41
seagulls aplenty
2:49
and a lot of happy people out there
2:49
having a good old time
2:51
a lot of circus whoa whoa whoa oh my
2:57
goodness look at that crowd of fowl
3:10
they're just waiting to loom I'm crying
3:10
foul
3:10
this is mr. closed why are they out
3:12
there and we can't it's a good point
3:16
Hitchcock would not oh my glasses are
3:21
fogging up I can't even see what I'm
3:22
filming
3:36

3:50
order the employee out of respect for

4:08
picnic area over there as well here at
4:12
McFadden Wharf now called Newport Wharf
4:17
the original Wharf that the site was
4:19
completed in the winter of 88 to 89 of
4:22
the 1800s and was connected by railroad
4:25
with the hinterland in the winter of
4:28
1890 to 91 did you know that yes o
4:31
donnell it still Beach Huntington Beach
4:33

4:37
never knew that old school it's pretty
4:42
cool what used to be called McFadden
4:44
Wharf not Newport yeah okay we're so
4:47
close we can almost taste it oh that was
4:52
you smelly that's not tasting that was a
4:53
smell that was a smelly sound look at
4:56
this
4:58
charli's chili I've heard so many good
5:01
things and now it's time I take a gander
5:04
at the menu real quick this paper
5:07
pamphlet that I received there from the
5:09
front door so they have breakfast served
5:11
all day and all night they have burgers
5:13
and sandwiches they have appetizers and
5:15
possibly the world's greatest chili
5:19
cheese omelet what are your thoughts on
5:21
that I mean it's pretty darn good you
5:24
ever had it I have had it and it's great
5:26
what do you should I get it I think you
5:28
have to get that kind of a win in Rome
5:30
moment you definitely have to get it so
5:32
I'm gonna get that what do you think it
5:34
what are you kind of looking towards
5:35
well if you're doing breakfast yeah
5:37
we'll go to lunch round okay this is a
5:39
chilly place yes so I'm gonna do maybe a
5:41
chili cheeseburger I like that so we get
5:44
the best of breakfast and lunch I'm
5:46
gonna do that so I'm gonna get there
5:49
cheese omelet and you're gonna I may
5:52
change my mind that's what I'm leaning
5:53
towards there probably will be plenty of
5:55
chili on the omelet itself but if I
5:57
wanted a little more you can order up to
5:59
three gallons of chili for $77 or just
6:05
the right amount if you're not really is
6:06
quite so hungry for fifty five bucks you
6:08
only get two got one about that tide be
6:10
over through the evening inside now to
6:13
order real quick some signage here
6:15

6:17
step back outside now just waiting
6:19
patiently for the food to be prepared so
6:24
