Local favorites

LD and I got a late start this morning but we enjoyed relaxing our morning away. When we did get up and moving out of the house, we drove down Pacific Avenue to see if we could see any of the filming that they had closed portions of the street for. After some exploration online we found out that the closure was for the Jonas Brothers to film their latest video. Although we were not able to see any of the filming itself (closures were actually pretty effective) we did hear some of the lingo "rolling" and "cut".

Our ultimate destination though was to try the Gaffey Street Diner. We'd driven by this place often enough and couldn't help but notice that they advertised being featured on the Food Network. Turns out they were featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives which has quickly become one of our favorite Food Network Programs (when we have the opportunity to watch TV). I've included the clip below.


We enjoyed our breakfasts of choice and the staff was friendly. While we were there someone ordered, and the waiter showed us the French Toast Supreme and we must admit that it looked bigger and better in person than it did on TV. Before we left we assured ourselves that we revisit in the very near future and, perhaps, share a French Toast Supreme.
