an antique from what i was reading
1:09
information on this place
1:11
they had some trouble giving it a
1:13
historical documentation because
1:16
of the expansion that happened a very
1:18
long time ago
1:20
it has gone through quite a few
1:21
renovations
1:23
since its original incarnation
1:26
when it was created and it's been a
1:28
number of different
1:30
businesses and establishments but this
1:33
is the most popular and the one that has
1:35

right on them at the counter i asked if
4:01
this was the
4:02
founder the original owners they said
4:04
yes
4:05
there's some photographs of him way back
4:08
in the good old days
4:10
the history of this building goes back
4:11
to the late 1800s when a single family
4:14
house was constructed on what was then
4:16
a four acre parcel for more than a
4:19
generation the house was occupied and
4:20
enjoyed
4:21
by an early anaheim family in 1958
4:26
raymond and anita burkland
4:29
fired the property after major
4:31
renovation and remodeling remodeling
4:33
they opened the original pancake house
4:47
everything all tidied up inside this
4:47
container
4:49
right here oh yeah
5:25
so vintage classic
5:25
as i back up i'm hoping i don't trip
5:27
over anything
5:28
keeping the framing but i'm kind of
5:31
looking back
5:32
as i had a tip toe
5:35
i don't want to fall off the curb
5:50
every one of that boss was having a fun
5:50
moment
5:52
watching me
6:03
all right moving on i'm gonna go eat
6:03
this you're correct again big the foot
6:06
it's not too far down here to this park
6:08
about a half a mile
6:10
arrived at citrus park
6:18
there's this painting of the citrus
6:18
fruit association
6:19
here in anaheim sun kissed you can see
6:22
it inscribed on that
6:24
that big orange down the bottom corner
6:30
which is a nice tie-in because i also
6:31
got some orange juice
6:33
to drink quite an array of picnic tables
6:36
however none of them are really in the
6:39
shade
6:40
at the time being this one kind of hints
6:43
at the shade right there look i got like
6:47
a tiny teeny amount of shade if i was to
6:51
like
6:52
procure myself on the coin yeah i'm
6:54
gonna have to do that that's
6:55
that's really about the only option and
6:58
this
6:59
is what we're
7:02
dealing with they gave me quite an
7:04
assortment of
7:05
napkins which i'm going to need there is
7:07
the straw
7:08
and they were nice enough because the
7:11
size
7:12
beverage containers that they have are
7:16
large this is considered a large and
7:18
they know that i'm gonna
7:19
i'm gonna need quite a quite a bit to
7:21
wash down
7:23
my lunch while i'm eating breakfast food
7:25
for lunch
7:26
that they didn't charge me any extra
7:29
for oh you know what i am completely
7:31
mistaken
7:32
okay i i stand corrected they did not
7:35
give me
7:36
a second dairy i ordered i ordered fruit
7:40
okay there's my orange juice okay i
7:42
forgot i ordered i ordered
7:44
some fruit down in there a side of fruit
7:46
oh and
7:47
i guess they are assuming that two
7:50
people are gonna be i guess i did order
7:51
a stack of six i got two sets of cutlery
7:55
i got my log cabin
7:58
syrup one and two
8:02
packages my drink container which now no
8:05
longer
8:06
has any of the drinks in there i got my
8:08
butter got one package
8:10
two packages of butter and down in here
8:15
between two paper plates
8:19
are whoa
8:22
don't look at it don't go don't go
8:26
don't go held together by
8:29
a a rubber band a thin rubber band
8:46
and to stop the wind from blowing it in
8:46
all facets
8:48
i'm going to place the other the second
8:49
plate down oh that's pretty that's
8:51
pretty good idea they put
8:52
because they thought too oh we got some
8:54
yard work going by
8:56
my apologies for the yard work but it's
8:58
gonna get noisy for a moment
9:00
and then i think he's gonna i think they
9:02
might be finishing up so we might get
9:03
lucky
9:05
look at this the array that they
9:07
decorate them in
9:09
it kind of like protrude them around in
9:11
a circular fashion almost
9:13
almost hypnotizing
9:18
leaf blower alert there's a leaf blower
9:21
over there
9:22
looks as if they're almost done though
9:24
the the
9:25
the gardening is almost finished so
9:27
we're gonna get pretty lucky
9:29
i believe this is the fruit here let me
9:33
give you a peek at this
9:35
oh yeah
9:41
that's what i'm talking about i need
9:42
in my belly we got some pineapple we got
9:44
some cantaloupe we got some maybe some
9:46
kiwi
9:47
some orange and speaking of
9:51
orange here it is all all
9:54
liquefied in my in my cup there
9:58
you have to kind of just roll what is
9:59
given to you as far as
10:01
sometimes natural ambience sometimes
10:04
man-made ambiance that
10:07
just got to look at everything some
10:10
things need to happen
10:11
workers need to be out doing their thing
10:14
i need to be out
10:16
continuing the series what i have done
10:19
is i've taken half of them three of them
10:22
place them over there
10:24
on that side just in case i can't
10:27
i'm putting the butter the butter is a
10:29
little a little runny
10:32
and the butter's a little very very soft
10:36
i'm just gonna use one of the packets on
10:38
these three
10:39
up cranking up the leaf blower again
10:41
place them all
10:43
like this and then pour it
10:51
look at that let's just let's just let's
10:51
just drench it
10:56
all right it seems as if they're kind of
10:56
going off to another section you're
10:58
still going to hear it way off in the
10:59
distance
11:00
okay now they're making it loud they're
11:01
cranking it up
11:03
but they are walking the opposite way so
11:06
i'm just going to try to get this get
11:08
this in my belly
11:10
it's been a while so i had pancakes oh
11:13
look at that syrup just
11:15
oh just like flowing in the breeze
11:18
staying on staying on the plate
11:34
oh yeah oh i hear a train
11:34
i hear the train mechanism
11:38
coming down blocking the road i can't
11:39
see it from here i can kind of see it
11:41
from here
11:41
way over there i think maybe a train
11:44
runs parallel to this
11:45
this park
12:01
computer train going by quick you can't
12:01
see it
12:02
it's obscured by the
12:05
the orange mural that was over there
12:08
here in anaheim it's on the
12:10
murals on the wall that blocks the train
12:12
track that thing went by quick
12:14
i have a fly in my forearm
12:24
i think i might be able to i might be
12:27
able to do all six of these
12:28
maybe let me finish the first three of
12:30
them i don't know maybe not
12:32
the service pretty the serve's pretty
12:33
thick
12:36
okay now there's a helicopter
12:42
i think it's a helicopter i might be
12:42
able to get yeah i might be able to see
12:46
oh yeah right there
12:55
going overhead it is just a plethora of
12:55
noises out here
12:58
helicopter yard workers trains
13:07
me chomping
13:16
well i'm still a large faith having a
13:16
large phase of my life but i mean i went
13:18
through a phase
13:20
where i didn't really enjoy pancakes
13:24
oh my here's him i got a haircut at some
13:26
point too
13:28
let me get syrup all of my
13:32
my hair but i went through a phase where
13:34
i didn't really enjoy pancakes they're
13:35
almost a little too
13:36
desserty for me i love breakfast food
13:39
even though i don't normally eat
13:40
breakfast i do love breakfast food for
13:42
lunch and especially dinner something
13:44
about
13:45
eggs bacon sausage
13:48
sourdough toast in the evening hours
13:50
late night hours
13:52
i am into
14:00
they're coming at me from the sides okay
14:00
he's loading up
14:01
the lawn mower this might end this might
14:04
be ending soon
14:05
the noise might be ending soon leaf
14:08
blower gentleman
14:09
is way over there like it probably
14:11
sounds like he's right here in my face
14:13
he's not he's way over there
14:20
but there was a point where i really
14:20
didn't enjoy pancakes that are too sweet
14:22
even i'm eating this now it feels like
14:23
i'm eating dessert
14:25
and those are four mentioned things you
14:28
know regular like eggs omelets
14:30
stuff like that breakfast food any time
14:32
of the day
14:33
i would never get pancakes and then
14:37
you know a few years went by i had them
14:39
when i was younger but in my adult life
14:40
i would just never get them and then one
14:42
day i said
14:42
heck it give me some pancakes and once i
14:46
eat them i usually just want to crave
14:47
them i know a lot of you are really
14:49
crave pancakes
14:51
i normally don't but once i get a taste
14:57
it's just go time
15:11
i almost forget how dang good they are
15:11
until i take that first
15:12
nibble and then it's on i think this guy
15:14
might be just toying with me now he's
15:16
just idling within
15:18
within earshot to hear it rumbling you
15:20
can hear his
15:22
his the mechanism rumbling i'm just
15:24
going to eat the rest of this and take
15:25
the other three home
15:26
they are very thick and the added butter
15:31
and the syrup really kind of like
15:35
really is i'll say filling but it's very
15:37
sweet
15:39
get too much of that in you at once
16:09
not complete silence but oh it got quiet
16:09
i have eaten at this establishment once
16:11
before
16:13
over in orange
16:19
so there are more than one in this
16:19
general vicinity
16:21
there's a few in southern california
16:30
but most likely the most unique and
16:30
interesting one
16:31
is the house is that home
16:36
that relic antique
16:44
sign okay last last flap jack
16:44
that's the same as a pancake
17:01
hmm the syrup i am utilizing
17:01
is a family tradition from 1887.
17:16
this is this this package wasn't made in
17:16
1887 it's just a
17:18
family tradition
17:30
got to find that rubber band and seal
17:30
this thing back up
17:32
i can maybe you know i could probably
17:34
probably do another one but i'm not
17:36
going to i'm just going to complete the
17:38
fruit
17:43
and put the top back on this one i feel
17:44
pretty comfortable i'm going to keep
17:44
myself in the
17:46
comfort zone one thing i've always kind
17:48
of battled with my whole life
17:50
even when i was even when i was a youth
17:53
but growing up
17:54
is if there is food in front of me it's
17:57
tough for me to stop eating
17:59
i have to work on that
18:07
and they say if you eat slow then it has
18:07
time to
18:08
to digest and fill up your stomach
18:18
so if there was you know a plate of this
18:19
and it was half full i would eat that
18:22
and then
18:22
you know whoever i'm whoever i'm sitting
18:25
with
18:26
talk to them time goes on i start i feel
18:28
full
18:30
but if the plate's the size and it is a
18:32
hundred percent of the plate is filled
18:33
up
18:34
twice as much as what i was previously
18:37
mentioning
18:38
i would just keep shoveling it in and i
18:41
still do that i'm not i'm not saying
18:42
that i have
18:43
i have bested that that habit
18:53
but i've been working on it because as
18:53
you get older
18:57
you cannot handle just eating
19:04
constant amounts of non-healthy items
19:04
even healthy items
19:05
you can't eat a lot of them i cannot eat
19:08
a lot
19:09
of food shovel it in like i used to
19:17
the frame of my body my weight
19:17
is is much larger than it was when i was
19:19
you know
19:21
15 years ago but it felt like i ate
19:25
five times as much then also a lot more
19:28
hyper though
19:29
that might have something to do with it
19:43
this fruit was very very needed
19:43
ooh is this a pear
19:49
okay there's two pieces here with the
19:49
top and one on top there
19:52
now let me try this
20:03
i don't know what that was oh and
20:03
there's like
20:04
a good amount of juice
20:10
i wonder what the juice tastes like with
20:10
all these different flavors
20:17
pretty unrecognizable it just tastes
20:17
like a mishmash of juice this is oj
20:21
i love orange juice orange juice is my
20:24
go-to juice
20:26
i love apple juice a lot too went
20:29
through a
20:30
went through a portion where i drink
20:32
apple juice all the time so drink a lot
20:34
of apple juice
20:35
and now i've replaced it with with
20:36
orange juice a lot more
20:38
i just love having vitamin c flowing
20:40
through the bones
20:41
even though it doesn't really get in
20:42
your bones it gets in like your
20:44
bloodstream as far as i know or is maybe
20:46
i'm not i'm not a doctor
20:48
but i like having that vitamin c
20:52
and i'm now the sun starting to kind of
21:03
