bolloxed up my back on Sunday picking up Kona the tub of lard so I'm p***ing this week 1st wed I've missed . We ate under the canopy for the experience of doing it then moved on , normally park anywhere I can in either my Roadster or Carol's Fordoor , I did get killer parking for Doug's 5 window last week , not in a carhop spot.Ate inside & had a good night.

 

Hey AP,

i was looking for you on sunday, but only found the jeepster....
i might try to get over there tonite.

 

I'm gonna try to make it tonight. What time do the carhops start?

 

Looks like im gonna make it there tonight with the famdamnly in the 55. Whats the parking situation like, not under the canopy, around 8??.....My wife is really looking forward to the chili spaghetti with the cheese slice....lol

 

Will be till 10pm or later.
The car hops always start @ 4pm are are working right now.
C'mon down

Last minute Mark, It should be no prob. Remember to ask for the chese for the chili spaghetti.

 

Not going to make it tonight...See you next week.

 

Dammit! I missed the thread for tonight's gathering. I woulda went.

 

I just got home from the Broiler. We had a nice BS session tonight. Thanks Kevin !!!!!

.

 

Wow, that brings back memories. I used to get that all the time at the Bob's in Huntington Beach back in the '70's when I was a kid.

 

Here's some recent photos from saturday shot by John, emailed to me by Adriene Biondo...

 

Last night was a blast, hanngin around and shooting the ****. Our car hop was the best. She put up with all of our **** with a smile. Our group had about a dozen people in it and she handled us all with ease. Plus we had to force our tip on her, she actually thought it was too much. She deserved every red cent of it ! ! !

 

went last night...it was great!....good food great service.....nice rides in the parking lot......wife and 2.5 year old had a great time....will definitely be going more often......thanks for everyone efforts in making this happen!!

haha....no kidding.....when i told my wife they were rebuilding a Bob's in downey thats the first thing she mentioned, we didnt know at the time to ask for the cheese slice, (now i know) so she got grated cheese....but....the taste is right on.....took me back

 

I have to appologize because I haven't met you in person, but I think I may have seen you walk by and I thought you looked familiar and it dawned on me that you were at the HAMB BBQ. Next time I will introduce myself.

Seems strange that there were several HAMBers there last night but I didn't realize it because Denise wasn't here to make us HAMB name tags.

 

or no Bob with the camp hamb banner......lol.....no worries man, next time i'll step up and introdue myself

 

HAHA! Right on!

 

maybe we should all wear red hats and purple sweaters one night so that we recognize each other...LOL !

 

I was.

.

 

How about this.............

 

Jesse and Sandra invade the Broiler! We just were a 3rd stop on WCC's version of a Anti Love-Reliability Run Type. Jim was more than a lil stoked as were Karen and Lindsey.
Thanx 4 making the Broiler a part of your ride.

 

Any pictures? How many bikes were there?

.

 

I only took one Sandra. Karen and Lindsey took some, but I can't tell ya how many??? It was nice to see Jesse show up though, I was hoping that he'd cruise on over as well.

 

Wednesday was cool, talked to a couple all the way down from Sonoma in their hot rod truck. Good turnout of all kinds of cars, really enjoyed the evening. Ordered my food and got really good service! Took off at 7:30 to do the Van Nuys Blvd. cruise which had a big turnout also.

News on the Bob's Big Boy that is being built in Pasadena. The owners of the Toluca Lake Bob's are planning to build a Bob's on the site of their former Baja Fresh outlet. Plans are in the works to convert the 3,600 sq. ft. Baja Fresh at 899 E. Del Mar Bl. to a diner that would "mirror the retro look of the 1949 Bob’s in Burbank."

It's a nice nite for a cruise over to Broiler, C'mon out and chow under the canopy and take in a nice nite of drive in service. .

 

Just a historical perspective: In the sixties, it was a great honor to park on the front row at Harvey's. You ate your food and moved along. Perhaps lawn chairs were already invented, but they weren't part of the car scene. After you finish your grub, move it on down the line. Let the car hops make some money. Let some other cars park under the canopy. That's how it really was. That's how it should be. See ya tonight.

 

You bringing the Olds, if not I can swing by and pick ya up on the way!

Oh ya were not eating in the car!!!

 

John, you're right about not eating in the cars. Your's is too nice and mine's too raggety.
