Our last evening in USA and we go to Johnny Rockets, the one at Hollywood and Highland.
Great burgers and Malted shakes. This one is my Butterfingers Shake. With peanut butter goodness. Yum.

Very Happy Days look inside. Really felt like an Old School diner.

I had the Route 66 burger (grilled mushrooms and onions, Swiss cheese & […]

Our Universal Studios meeting also got us a great look at the actual set of Crossing Jordan, the NBC series. This is the autopsy room.

We also saw the cadavers they use for the show, which cost more than US$40,000 each, I am told. They change the heads to use the fake cadavers again and again. […]

Seen in the Hermosa cafe we ate lunch at.
Do not go swimming while wearing a sea lion Halloween outfit.
If you see a shark in the water, do not get in the water.
Do not go surfing with sardines stuffed into your wetsuit.
Do not swim with seals because you think it’s cute. Sharks eat them like popcorn.

Behold! The Lord of the Onion Rings! More photos of food and other silliness on our LA stay at this Flickr set.
