A new restaurant opened on Wednesday in West Hollywood. THE BREAKING BAD EXPERIENCE. You can eat in Gus' chicken joint with Walter White's Winnebago spewing blue smoke. Not sure what's on the menu or whether you can get take-out pizza for your roof.
But this is a real thing, on Santa Monica Blvd. just west of LaBrea. If they really want to be authentic they should have one fly buzzing around.
Every time I wanted a refill for my drink I had to sit in that damn wheelchair banging twice on a bell tied to one arm, and even if the server noticed me my glass would take forever to arrive on the back of a large turtle.
ReplyDeleteAnd the guy making cinnamon rolls didn't seem to have his heart in the job.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! Will check out on next visit.
ReplyDeleteLydia's "stevia crap" available?
ReplyDeleteI didn't like "Breaking Bad" and I don't do West Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteNow if they open a "Two Broke Girls" diner in Reseda, I'm there.

FRIDAY QUESTION: I'm currently re-watching "Thirtysomething" (don't judge--it actually kinda holds up). The opening title sequence is a montage of shots from episodes in the series, and it has been the same since the second episode. I noticed that there are two shots in the title sequence from episode 10 (which I think aired after Christmas that year), which means that they put the title sequence together (and only started airing episodes) after they shot 10 episodes. Which makes me curious: How far in advance are episodes shot before a series airs? Is it normal to have almost three months of episodes in the can before the series airs?
ReplyDeleteDaniel, you'll be happy to hear that Thirtysomething is coming back to follow the lives of the grown-up children of the original characters.
ReplyDeleteApparently a sequel series to McHale's Navy is also in the pipeline. I'm not making this up. Not long before an Ozzie & Harriet reboot.
Oops, it's actually Hogan's Heroes that's getting a sequel series, not McHale's Navy.

“Ozzie & Harriet reboot”
ReplyDeleteThat was, sort of, Ozzie’s Girls

Firstly, never apologise for a TV show you like.
Secondly, networks do not necessarily play episodes in the order they were filmed.
It is certainly possible that the tenth episode was one of the first episodes filmed, but delayed for broadcasting
The Venn diagram of meth users and hungry people isn't a really big one, so we'll see how the restaurant goes. If if fails, they can try the "Breaking Bad Family Dental Clinic". Meth and ongoing oral surgery requirement always go together.
ReplyDeleteTV series based restaurant? There used to be a Beany's Drive-In (as in Bob Clampett's Beany & Cecil) in Long Beach.

Breaking Bad... a restaurant. One thing both would have in common:
ReplyDeleteThere's definitely cooking involved.
I'm surprised they didn't bring in the real Breaking Bad Winnebago. It's kept not too far away at Sony in Culver City.
