Seeing the Sizzler reminds me of the Bonanza restaurant from the 70s-80s that our family always went to in Missouri. Still the same „look“ after all these years!

Bonanza was my family's JAM!! That and Western Sizzlin'. 😁 Kind of a pity most of those places are gone now.

We stopped at a Bonanza a few times with relatives who live in S/W Missouri. And Sizzlers in CA. Good food usually.

We were in Beijing, looking for a place to eat in this small shopping center. We rounded a corner, and came face-to-face with a Sizzler!! Yes, I was in heaven!!

Botanist here, native to SoCal. The purple was sea lavender and the red flowers are bottlebrush - hummingbirds and bees love them.
Not to burst your bubble BUT.... The Santa Cruz Boardwalk, which is the oldest surviving amusement park in California (1907), serves as the backdrop for a lot of scenes in The Lost Boys - and it's where viewers are first introduced to “the family.” The family being a group of big hair-wearing, wheelie-popping, teenage-brooding vampires. The fictitious town of 'Santa Carla', with its lively boardwalk and funfair is unmistakably Santa Cruz, south of San Francisco between Monterey and San Mateo.
Welcome to SoCal! The “pepper flakes” is Tajin and the stuff on top is chamoy! We Mexicans put spice on EVERYTHING! 🤣

Raised my boys in Seal Beach. Both graduated from Los Alamitos High School. That Sizzler has been there forever. So glad it is still open for business. Thanks for the memories.

Pretty amazing day for you two! Some of my favorite guys ❤ big fail on the fruit cup sorry! Boy was that fruit magical last time we were there. Love you sweetheart, keep brother Steve out of trouble 🤣🤣
Pretty sure Lost Boys was filmed in Santa Cruz. But, Santa Monica is still iconic!

So great to see a positive slant on The Golden State for a change! Brings back fond memories.
What I love about traveling is the amazing things that can happen, and the mistakes we can make. They both make great memories and stories to tell everyone back home. You and Steve can say “remember those horrible fruit cups we had on the Santa Monica pier? Who knew you could ruin fruit…” for years to come.
Usually, the overcast is marine layer that is typical in the morning, but will 'burn' off.
The Lost Boys was filmed on the Santa Cruz Boardwalk not the Santa Monica Pier

You are so positive! You seem like a person that makes their own good time no matter who you travel with or where you go. Enjoy!
So nice to see you in my neck of the woods. Enjoy the West Coast!
Love Southwest. They go to the smaller airports near big towns like Dallas Love Field and Chicago Midway etc.

Hi Tony and Steve. That's some travel day. SoCal traffic is no joke. As always thank you for all you do. ❤
Its fun seeing all the locations that have meaning to me. I lived in Malibu in HS and was bussed into Santa Monica for hs. Chad lowe rode my bus, Dean Cain and Gary Busey lived on my block. Point Dume is Point DOOM. I went to CSULB and lived in Long Beach for 15yrs before moving to Santa Clarita( where a lot of movies/tv shows are filmed daily). We had a sizzler here, but it went belly up. The airport is actually in Lakewood.
The large Carousel inside on the left when you 1st go on the pier was the filming location in The Sting. Where Paul Newman’s Grifter character lived/worked at the beginning of the film.
It’s so awesome that you took your brother-in-law on an excursion to the 405 freeway. Well, you have to admit it was an all day excursion- almost. Welcome to Los Angeles, enjoy your stay, and have a blast on your cruise!
I miss Sizzler!! We don’t have them here in Australia anymore. 😞 I feel hungry for pumpkin soup and that yummy cheese toast now! 😂
Welcome to So Cal! It's our May gray weather! Next month is the June gloom.
50-60 thousand for houses on Malibu beach front location… Bless his little heart. Try 20-30 million dollars.
Santa Monica Pier is a nice place to hang out if you're waiting for the LA rush hour to settle down. And the Pacific Coast Highway is a very nice scenic drive, especially after you pass Malibu
My back yard! LGB is a great airport to use. Nice hotels just north of the airport with restaurants nearby. Have a great cruise!
Rockstar living. Up all day and night. Rocking the Sizzler and beyond. Party on!!!!!
Love these vlogs you're making
Oh my goodness, you were three blocks from me when you ate at the sizzler! Los Alamitos is the greatest.
Love Sizzler! We were just talking about it last night.
Thanks Tony for taking us to the SM Pier!
Flowers: purple are lantana and red are bottle brush. We cruise out of Long Beach and San Pedro, but live near the Pinnacles in Trona. The newer versions of Planet of the Apes and Star Trek had scenes filmed there. Lunch and dinner: I'm sorry you didn't try In n Out Burger. Maybe you already did on a previous trip. It's not for everyone. I love Sizzler, but I have to drive a long way to get to one. The salad bar comes with the bread and a baked potato if you ask for it.

Next time you drive from Trona to Long Beach, Bakersfield has a Sizzler just off of State Route 99 at the California & Real Rd intersection.

Welcome to California Tony! We love to have you!
We have two Sizzler restaurants still open in the county where I live. We typically go to the one closest to us about 3-4 times a year.
We f,ew into Seattle and I went to bed at 6:30pm and woke up at 2:45am. We board a cruise to Alaska today and I see a nap in my future
We live, and we learn !! Thanks for sharing your and Steve's day, Tony !
SoCal - May & June, no sun before noon . . . or maybe a little later yesterday.
News for you: beaches in Southern Cal are often overcast until the afternoon. It even has a name, "Offshore Flow."

@@StealthyGypsy There used to be a weather guy on one of the TV channels in L.A. who always mentioned it. Yep, it wasn't always June, it was basically the whole summer. I know because I used to go to the beach a lot and it'd be cold in the morning.
Hi Tony. I didn’t know you saw my high school ! Los Alamitos class of ‘88 🙂
Welcome to California 🎉
I ❤ me some LA was just there last month the pier is my favorite place. I always visit also made my 1st trip to Disney Land. Hope you all had fun !!
Have a great cruise looking forward to hear all about it
Have a great cruise!
Welcome to SoCal and LA traffic! So glad we did not disappoint Love cruising out of Long Beach, a lot easier than Miami..
Red stuff is chamoy and flakes are Tajín, both are of Mexican origin and enjoyed by many here in SoCal and any other place with a large Mexican or Latino population. 15 bucks is the tourist price. The onion looking stuff on the Tostilocos are Cueritos- pickled pig skin.
I was a Big Lost boys fan back in the 80’s !!
I love the fruit cups even with the cucumbers! I get them here in FL
Lost Boys & Sizzler?! Thanks for the flashback! Looking forward to hearing about your cruise.
loved the tour thanks for letting me tag along.
Thanks for showing the arcade !!!
I love flying in or out of Long beach.
Welcome to California, hope you enjoy your visit here.
That was fun going along on the trip with you guys.. - See you tomorrow.. 🌷
Ok, so first off, thanks for the drive down memory lane! I spent a good part of my younger years running up and down PCH! I cant believe you went to Santa Monica and missed Venice!!! That is truly an experience you should not miss. Traffic is on a different level - and almost as bad as Atlanta! It's always overcast at the beach this time of year, we called that June Gloom and its not specific to June! LOL..... Fruit cups are everywhere and you need to understand how that entire thing works, or you will be disappointed. Sorry about that.
Happy travels Tony!! Looking forward to your vblogs.
Wow, on Sizzler what fun safe travels. I can’t wait to see the rest of your week.
Nice Vlog Tony thanks for sharing
Looks like Atlanta traffic on any given day! Enjoy your trip!

It was worse than Atlanta. I have done that many times.
Have a great trip. 😊
That brought me home to my San Pedro CA roots! I could almost smell the ocean! I thought all Sizzlers were long gone! Back in the 70’s a Top Sirloin steak dinner was 1.95 including the salad bar. Gas was 32 cents a gallon.
THREE'S COMPANY beginning of the show was the kids on the Santa Monica Pier !!! As well as that was the supposed location they lived!!
Oh there's donuts! Love your videos! I went on my first cruise last month and your knowledge helped me so much. safe travels!
You were off by about 350 miles on the Lost Boys filming location. They filmed at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, up north heading towards San Francisco.
Love this video being from SoCal. I took my son in law and daughter to Point Dume around Christmas time last year to show them the beach and movie location, they thought I was crazy. Thanks Tony for verifying my craziness. "The Sting" movie from the early 70's was filmed at the carousel on Santa Monica Pier, Paul Newman Robert Redford Classic. Keep Traveling!
Hi Tony, hope you both have a fantastic time, please stay safe God Bless.
Awwww, love California!! Thank you for showing the beach and Sizzlers, that was my mom's favorite place. The fruit you had was fruta preparada has everything but if your not used to eating chamoy (the red syrup) and tajin..it will taste alittle sour. Y'all have a wonderful time!
I believe the last of Australia's Sizzler restaurants closed in 2020. They'd already started closing down before that, but covid was the last straw. Shame, we always enjoyed going. Thanks for the flashback 🙂
Couldn’t handle the tajin. I understand 😂😂, def threw me off the first time I had it
Welcome to SoCal from your San Diego fans to the south! Enjoy your stay! I hope you enjoy the Firenze. We'll be on her in December.
Cool video. The LGB airport and Santa Monica are pretty cool. ZOLTAR lol I haven’t seen or thought of him in years and years. Too funny. Thank you for sharing. Once again, love the work you do to share your cruising experiences. Cruise News IS da News!!! And that’s Ludicrous 😁
I looked it up..many films....wow!..thank you for the wonderful tour..time lapsed which is great ..I hate waiting.. I loved the sizzler..it was by the smithhaven mall
So cool! Enjoy your west coast trip. We loved Santa Monica and driving up highway 1
So glad you’re in my neck of the woods!! Enjoy!
Good Morning Tony and happy pre cruise day
I always love your travel and cruise vlogs! Have a great time! I look forward to seeing some California places and the “new” Carnival ship.
Great to see California 😊
I went on a land and cruise vacation in February and a short five day in April and I am so ready to go again!!! I have my next cruise planned for September. It seems so far away and your videos are sustaining me until then.
Enjoy!

For years we took 2 weeks in LA area in March and October--- thanks so much for the revisit--- Santa Monica, Marine layer, Malibu Beach behind strip mall on ocean side, Point Dume (my rock,) pelican fly by on SM pier Ferris wheel, Palos Verdes, Catalina Island w/ it's Wrigley gardens, Angel's Flight and Egg Slut @the Market ---- have done it all. LA is worth about 2 weeks. Purple flower is Agapanthus...and red bougainvillea!!!! It's worth dealing with the traffic. Next time try King's Hawaiian in Torrence (original bakery!) Try a cruise that stops in Catalina!
Great video ❤❤❤❤
I grew up going to lifeguard station 23 at SM beach. The pier used to be longer, and half of it fell off into the ocean in the late 70s (if i remember right).
I love Long Beach Airport!
Welcome to California!
My family moved from Mi to Ca in 1966 .. we got on Route 66 at the beginning in Chicago and drove it all the way to Covina Ca … just 38 miles short of Santa Monica .. the end of Route 66. What a hot August trip that was.
Happy to see you on the west coast. Someday I hope to have a Tony sighting. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Ha Tony! You got me! I paused at each location to look it up. Should have known better. Great video have a wonderful trip see you next time. ~Cara 😊
You are in my city called Los Alamitos. Welcome 🤓
Oh yes chilly California.
Wow Sizzler. Best thing there is the Cheesy Garlic Bread. Yum. Goodnight.
Long Beach is one of my favorite little airports
Ah, you got to enjoy the typical May Gray weather that occurs along the Southern California coast - May-June is always like that.
Cool starfish shirt Tony!
i just love the shout outs man
Love the tour. The movie Big with Tom Hanks was filmed on the Santa Monica pier. What an iconic place.
Red flower is a bottle brush - native to Australia
I miss the sizzler - they closed in my area decades ago
“Spaceballs?!?…. ‘OH Sh*t…. there goes the planet! SMH’ 🐵… 😂😂
Tony, after your cruise, go to Islands resturant in Long Beach. It right by the port. Fun place!
