Beach City Grill Pictures
Tara, Mike and I went for a wander today and ended up at the Beach City Grill for dinner. "What is the Beach City Grill?" you might ask.


To refresh your memory (or if you've never seen the film) this is the Beach City Grill from the movie.



Here is what it looks like now.



I am very goofy.



This is the best picture I could find over at the Ten Inch Hero website. But you can see the logo and the parrot.



Tara (who is across the street) yells, "Scoot down! Your head is in the way!" And so I scooted.



The Fantastic Four.



I love, LOVE, L-O-V-E that they kept "Trucker" as the emergency contact. Whoops! Spoiler?



This is what the booths look like when they are filled with famous people.



This is what the booths look like when they are filled with not-so-famous people.



The hostess brought me the menu so I could take a picture, and when she saw the dolls exclaimed, "I have a 'Surf Naked' shirt at home!! You have to send me that picture!!"



On the ceiling are many colorful tiles. And one of them is an ode to Ten Inch Hero. A bit bigger version is [HERE]



Sean Patrick Flanery



David MacKay



Adair Tishler



Danneel Harris



Elizabeth Harnois



John Doe


And last but not least:

Sir Jensen of Ackles



It was really cool to actually eat in a place that was once a movie set.

It took us FOREVER to find his signature. It was the little Priestly drawing that finally gave it away. *L*

The question is, was the food good?

Well, Mike's sandwich looked really good, but neither Tara nor I liked our tacos. Next time I'll just get a piece of cheesecake. :)

You go to the coolest places. I love the poses with the Priestlys. (Also, I like that Jensen's signature appears to be Christmas-themed.)

Little things like this are just so much FUN. It's harder to do it with TV shows because a lot of the time they are just on sets. This was a real restaurant and it was so freaking COOL to eat where the characters ate.

OOO how fun! That ceiling tile is awesome! It is really cool to eat in a place that was a movie set! I ate at Carver Cafe which they used to film Twilight (the owners decided to keep it how it was when they filmed instead of reverting it back so even more cool).

At first we couldn't believe how the restaurant was still there and was almost EXACTLY as it was in the film.

EEE HOW COOL!! I didn't even know that was a real place.

I love how everyone else sort of doodled their name and then Jensen's is all fancy. :P

This would be a small spoiler for Ten Inch Hero if you didn't know it took place in a restaurant, which I just told you, so since you're already spoiled you might just as well come look at the pictures, okay? )

It was fun trying to pick out all the signatures. It took us AGES to find Jensen's.

I kind of love that Jensen drew a self-portrait (sort of). He is apparently a better artist than Jared (or at least Sam). *g*

What does red-haired Priestly's shirt say?

Save a Tree
Eat a ?????

And when did you get him? Is green-haired Priestly coming next?

We were OMG SO CALM. I was really proud of us. I think we embarrassed Mike when we got the dolls out, but the manager was totally cool and recognized them right away. :)

Okay, I gotta know how many people were working there when you went? Because I think five employees at once is way too many for such a small place. *^_^*

It was one of my bigggest nitpicks with the movie.

HAHA, that is SO NOT TRUE. When I met Tara (and Plastic!Priestly) in LA, IT WAS AKIN TO MEETING ROYALTY, I kid you not. Ask her! I fangirled all over the place. You should have been there so I could complete the circuit!

Awesome, awesome pictures! :)

Although, I seriously doubt that Sean Patrick Flanery is hung like a Tic-Tac...*is perverted*
