welcome everyone Adam the whoo here to
0:02
day number eight of this current
0:05
temporary series where I go around to
0:07
Southern California eateries that are
0:10
open for drive-through takeout or to go
0:14
orders about the cruise over to
0:17
Wilmington I'm inviting you to join me
0:19
shall you just got to get my supplies
0:22
and order and head out yep I agree big
0:27
the foot a nice scenic drive along these
0:29
train tracks
0:32
we're almost there don't worry
0:34
I'm hungry too located on the corner of
0:38
the 1300 block of golf Avenue and
0:43
Pacific Coast Highway even though there
0:46
are over 300
0:56
of these establishments the first is on
0:56
this road Wienerschnitzel opened in the
1:00
early 60s the founder was a gentleman by
1:02
the name of John Gilardi who was on the
1:06
ground level of the Taco Bell
1:08
organization in fact he was good friends
1:10
with Glenn Bell and had this idea to
1:13
start his own business and Glenn Bell
1:17
said that's perfectly fine you should
1:19
expand and move on but do not sell tacos
1:25
and he didn't want to do hamburgers
1:28
either hotdogs was not so common so
1:32
that's how the idea came up gone through
1:35
a few structural changes over the years
1:38
but more or less the same the
1:41
drive-through has been added on soon
1:43
after opening his wife was the one we
1:50
can thank for coming up with the name
1:52
originally der Wienerschnitzel our dear
1:56
wiener schnitzel but they dropped the
1:57
first word and now it's just the one
2:01
word he didn't really like the idea at
2:04
first and said well it's better than
2:07
it's better than John's hotdogs and the
2:10
name stuck sidenote Tastee Freez by 1055
2:15
15 years ago don't quote me on that but
2:19
Tastee Freez was purchased
2:21
by this company speaking of that iconic
2:24
logo it was created in the late 70s by
2:27
Saul Bass he spent over four decades
2:30
working in Hollywood for directors like
2:33
Scorsese Billy Wilder and alfred
2:37
hitchcock would be proud nice little
2:41
side note on the front of the building
2:44
there is a plaque er that says at this
2:46
location on July 3rd 1961 the first der
2:52
Wienerschnitzel national chain opened
2:54
its doors a historical landmark rocket
2:58
there's actually two placards it all
3:00
began here where he first served up
3:02
hotdogs and his secret recipe chili now
3:06
their world's largest hotdogs Shane we
3:08
are proud to continue the legacy of
3:09
great food and great fun for the time
3:12
being the picnic area has some tape
3:16
around it for obvious reasons but the
3:19
drive-thru is open as well as the
3:22
walk-up section around the front now I
3:25
have eaten at a few of these in my day
3:27
but never this location palm trees are a
3:34
nice little touch providing some extra
3:38
SoCal ambience a building is so cool
3:42
so historic
4:12
a fruit loop dipped cone that's
4:12
different another plaque on this side
4:17
counting three placards oh I almost
4:21
tripped over that
4:42
that was an unusual sound that
4:42
18-wheeler shock just made my guess it's
4:47
kind of normal but it was a little bit
4:49
very prominent I haven't decided quite
4:54
what I'm gonna order yet but I am
4:56
leaning towards one chili dog and one
4:59
sauerkraut layered without chili so one
5:03
without chili just with sauerkraut maybe
5:06
some onions and a chili dog maybe
5:08
something else that's just I'm gonna
5:09
decide when I get to the window but
5:10
that's my first thought just waiting for
5:12
a friend of mine to arrive can I have a
5:15
little lunch together
5:27
at the very first Wienerschnitzel it's a
5:27
fun weird aside
5:40
I've noticed these are prominent in
5:40
larger places too but especially the
5:42
teeny-tiny old school buildings you see
5:46
these concrete stanchions that are
5:47
placed there to keep you do not want a
5:49
car driving through the structure itself
6:06
I have noticed these about oh by the way
6:06
David has arrived you may have ever had
6:10
wiener schnitzel before I love you love
6:15
it I love it how many times have you
6:17
consumed wiener schnitzel Oh what's the
6:19
month once a month you ever been to the
6:21
first one no neither have I so this will
6:25
be an experience for both of us and I
6:27
was just about to mention that yes you
6:29
can because it's a can of chili
6:32
sometimes chili places will take to have
6:35
a little souvenir that you can take so I
6:37
think I'm gonna get my souvenir on a hot
6:39
dog that what's gonna be your what's
6:42
going to be your go-to menu item
6:53
the number three chili cheese dog the
6:53
chili cheeseburger number three you guys
6:55
cheeseburger awesome alright I think I'm
7:02
gonna well I'm gonna decide when I get
7:04
up there let's do it when you think of
7:06
hotdog chains what's the first one that
7:08
comes to your mind the only one this is
7:10
it the only one I wonder if I should get
7:14
a little weirder okay we're gonna get a
7:17
little weird with it a little weird at
7:18
Wiener schnitzel yeah you could do that
7:24
I'm thinking just a basic chili dog and
7:28
a regular chili dog with no chili and
7:31
I'm gonna say horseradish but I meant to
7:33
say sauerkraut
7:34
I do love sauerkraut
7:37
it's called the German there you got the
7:39
truth okay that's what I want that has
7:41
the spicy kind of mustard not the basic
7:43
mustard oh that's good too
7:45
okay I'm gonna get that - that's almost
7:47
like a Chicago dog almost is that kind
7:50
of like a Chicago dog I'm gonna get a
7:53
Cuban and a German then maybe chili
7:56
cheese fries
7:57
just to kind of have like a win in Rome
7:59
moment all right that's what I'm doing
8:01
oh my goodness look at those man is that
8:07
too much - two dogs and chili cheese
8:10
fries yes I'm not like super huge no the
8:13
dog the dogs are pretty small well small
8:15
it okay that's what I'm gonna do
8:17
oh look at this wow I've never seen a
8:19
place it has Thousand Island fries huh
8:25
it kind of does see I was thinking
8:27
originally the kraut dog I still want a
8:30
kraut dog though maybe I'll get busted
8:32
if we have a German okay yeah so normal
8:34
kraut dog is like a German but I do like
8:36
that mustard so okay that's
8:39
you still have the problem if he's
8:40
fogging out then the fog comes up
8:42
through the mask he have a problem with
8:44
your glasses fogging that's why you
8:49
don't wear
9:02
there come the beverages originally when
9:02
I suggested this I said Winchester and
9:05
you were like I think it's in Wilmington
9:07
and I looked it up and realized I was
9:08
incorrect these are some these are
9:11
something like beastly sized beverages
9:13
yeah what is that that was a large that
9:15
Mountain Dew pineapple lemonade I went
9:19
with the doctor I went with the dark
9:21
yeah mama take the mask off first I
9:25
think we didn't even request them and
9:27
they gave us a straw so we hadn't even
9:30
request them in this over very nice the
9:33
the facial item hanging from the year is
9:36
becoming quite fashionable these days
9:39
it's a thing it is pull them off you
9:45
can't I can pull it off we got the bags
9:49
full of items we're gonna put the car
9:52
here
9:53
David's backing up his mobile into this
9:57
spot and that way we can have that the
10:00
building as a backdrop it's our new life
10:04
now can I have a little
10:13
can't go to arena stats on without
10:13
getting mr. classic chili cheese dog
10:16
hello yeah and fries they have good
10:19
fries unrest oh don't sleep on just our
10:21
main supply Jerome I say Disney on the
10:26
tip of the tongue you can't open
10:28
sometimes I do love you some food so you
10:31
just got regular fries that are chilly
10:32
on them just straight-up fries just tray
11:01
really strong
11:01
there's a lot going on there I don't
11:04
know if it's proper etiquette to start
11:05
with the fries but I'm doing it so stop
11:10
got some chili on my eyebrow it's part
11:20
of the experience a jalapeno on there
11:23
there's some handle on this too what's
11:26
all bacon was like Canadian bacon yeah
11:28
Danny baked it's basically ham hocks a
11:32
Canadian bacon
11:47
the others bacon on this [\h__\h] anybody
11:47
liquid [\h__\h] make good father
11:50
palpating
11:53
wife in Austria
12:03
I didn't know they didn't think I was
12:03
seriously gonna get this again
12:21
this is like uh Sibylla yeah
12:21
the Krauts on the other one the mother
12:23
fell it fell on the ground but didn't
12:25
come out of the box and that will shovel
12:26
so head of them this dog really was good
12:32
it does taste a little bit different
12:33
like you're talking about like a normal
12:35
hot doggin you daughter versus this
12:37
while personal rocket chili dog
12:38
my idea of a food review is kind of
12:42
giving a lackluster wrap-up on how the
12:46
food tastes yeah it's more about the
12:49
destination and a little bit of
12:51
backstory on messenger it's in a unique
12:53
more than precise pinpointed food just a
12:57
tour like there's plenty of other people
12:58
that are way better doing that right you
13:00
exactly stay in your lane this is what
13:01
you do
13:10
dude indeed this is what we're dealing
13:10
with and I say that but there's like a
13:12
little bit on my on my thumb there a
13:15
little bit of a kraut this is the one
13:17
that fell on the floor right down there
13:20
it didn't it didn't it didn't come out
13:22
of the box Dawg so it's like it's fine
13:23
it just kind of didn't mix it up just a
13:25
bit
13:26
I do love sauerkraut I know what it is
13:28
but it's a nice little perspective there
13:33
through the cups you go that's just the
13:35
basic chili cheese
13:41
I for one am thankful that places are
13:41
open for take-out and drive-through I
13:43
can do stuff like this but I will also
13:46
be extra special thankful when we're
13:47
able to sit at a table once again but it
13:51
you get to it made us very creative or
13:54
maybe everyone has to be very creative
13:57
in this current situation
14:06
this is really good I think like the
14:06
other one a little bit better oh yeah it
14:09
could be it could be guess I'm getting
14:11
full maybe the first one I was like
14:14
really hungry this is good I think I
14:16
like the other one a little bit better
14:19
but I do like the spicy mustard and then
14:23
these great in these times eating next
14:26
to a dumpster we will not forget these
14:30
days way down the road in five years
14:33

14:36

lot dumpster standing experience
