<v Speaker 1>The years go by so quickly. It seems like we

2
00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>were just talking to my friend Elizabeth bursting about dine

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Out Long Beach. It seems like it it was just

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 1>So, okay, let's break down. You're celebrating ten years, right.

10
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 2>You're correct, I believe it or not.

11
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, congratulations, that's awesome.

12
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

13
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.679
<v Speaker 1>Now the LBC has come into its own and there

14
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:43.799
<v Speaker 1>was a lot, you know, for a long time LA

15
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 1>had the focus only and then that's grown and continue

16
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>to move south with you know, Orange County and Long

17
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Beach and Long Beach really has such a great food scene.

18
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 1>Why don't you break down a little bit about what

19
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>you love about the Long Beach the uniqueness of the

20
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Long Beach food scene as we talk more about Dine

21
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Out Long Beach.

22
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, what I love about Long Beach, I mean

23
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 3>moved here to go to college.

24
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 2>And I won't say when, but it's been a while.

25
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 3>But I love Long Beach is you know, it's pockets

26
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 3>of neighborhoods.

27
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Right, So you have you know, you know, you have your.

28
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 3>Seaside communities balmash or Naples. You have Bixby Knoles, which

29
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.519
<v Speaker 3>is you know, north of the four or five super

30
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 3>charming cal Heights.

31
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 2>You have you know, you know, foody.

32
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 3>Neighborhoods like Cambodia Town, which is you know, just you know,

33
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 3>if we have the largest population of Cambodians outside of Cambodia.

34
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 3>So I mean you can imagine the food which is

35
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.560
<v Speaker 3>down Anaheim Street and Long Beach if you know it.

36
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 3>So what I love about Lund Beach is I mean

37
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 3>it does have a diverse selection of restaurants and cuisines

38
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 3>and price points. You know, it really has come into

39
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 3>its own in the last ten to fifteen years and

40
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 3>it's been wonderful.

41
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

42
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>They having those cultural pockets like that where groups because

43
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>that happens. Some people come from a country and they

44
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>have their their deep love rightly so of their culture.

45
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.599
<v Speaker 1>And when other you know, family members, friends or whatever,

46
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 1>they say, hey come here, it's great and we love

47
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 1>it here. They tend to move in similar areas and

48
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>we as people who are born here in the States

49
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 1>get the benefit of people that bring their cultures and

50
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 1>the beauty of their cultures and the food. So Long Beach,

51
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 1>like you said, is kind of an eclectic place depending

52
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 1>on where you land. What are some of the restaurants.

53
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 1>Are there any new restaurants this year that you wanted

54
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 1>to highlight because I know restaurants come and go.

55
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they do.

56
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.919
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I was looking over the last ten years,

57
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.479
<v Speaker 3>like when we first started, and I want to say

58
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 3>close to probably forty percent have closed.

59
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's you know, restaurants, it's been rough. It's

60
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>been rough. You know, we had COVID.

61
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 3>You know, if you're a steakhouse trying to make something,

62
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 3>take something out is not steak doesn't travel real well, right,

63
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 3>nobody wants to pay one hundred bucks for a meal

64
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 3>and take it home in a syrophone box.

65
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>So you know you had that.

66
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.360
<v Speaker 3>But you know, but when restaurants, you know, for whatever reason, closed,

67
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, something pops up and takes its place. So

68
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 3>this year we have our you know, some of our

69
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 3>longtime restaurants that have been doing dine out Long Beach

70
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 3>since day one, like Naples Rib Company and Michael's on Naples,

71
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 3>Buana's Italian Restaurant downtown.

72
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 2>But we also have some newer restaurants this year.

73
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 3>So one is Bar Becky, have a really top chef there.

74
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 2>It's over by the airport.

75
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 3>Great cocktail scene there, so we're very excited. They opened,

76
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 3>i want to say, in the last six months, doing

77
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 3>really well. They're right next to a restaurant called the

78
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 3>nine to eight and Georgia, so they're all participating in

79
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 3>dine out Long Beach. So you know, you can do

80
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 3>a progressive, progressive dinner if you want to start with

81
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 3>cocktails at one place, meal.

82
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>And then with dessert somewhere else.

83
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 3>Another restaurant is The Local Current, which is downtown as well.

84
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>It's a new restaurant in the Marriotte at Ocean and Pine.

85
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 3>They're doing a breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, so you know,

86
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 3>pick your pick your day part and very reasonable. We

87
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 3>also have the so it's been getting a lot of attention.

88
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 2>Is that the Breaker's Hotel reopened?

89
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:55.199
<v Speaker 3>Oh yes, so, I mean just they redid that from

90
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 3>top to bottom. That's got that has a great history.

91
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.720
<v Speaker 3>It's an icon landmark in Long Beach. Elizabeth Taylor and

92
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Nikki Hilton spent their wedding night there in nineteen fifty

93
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.240
<v Speaker 3>because it was his dad's hotel. But their restaurant, their

94
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.199
<v Speaker 3>Italian restaurant, is participating.

95
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:12.759
<v Speaker 1>You know.

96
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 3>It's you know, it's a shiny new toy in town.

97
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 3>So if anyone's thinking of dining there, I get on.

98
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 2>It, make a reservation quickly.

99
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.680
<v Speaker 3>So those are a few of the new restaurants participating

100
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 3>and again all different price points, all different cuisines, all

101
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 3>different experiences.

102
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I hate to hear about places closing, and we've

103
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 1>heard all too much about that and we continue to

104
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 1>get hit even here in Los Angeles with the fires

105
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>as well recently have caused problems because people aren't going

106
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 1>out to those areas unfortunately. But I do love hearing

107
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>when places open, you know, it gives hope that there's

108
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:58.399
<v Speaker 1>new places for people to connect with and to you know,

109
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:02.519
<v Speaker 1>fall in love with all over it again in an area.

110
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, I live in an area in Los Angeles

111
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:09.279
<v Speaker 1>that has restaurant turnover and then has some landmark places

112
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.639
<v Speaker 1>that have been around for a while. Thanks for hanging

113
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 1>out today where you're talking with my buddy Elizabeth Borstein

114
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 1>about dine out long Beach celebrating ten Delicious years. Restaurant

115
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and Cocktail Week February eighteenth through the twenty eighth coming

116
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 1>up this week, presented by Grunion Gazette. You can eat

117
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 1>meat and repeat going through the restaurants. It's a great

118
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:37.040
<v Speaker 1>list of restaurants, which is exciting. But I also want

119
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>to and we'll get into that in a moment. I

120
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.279
<v Speaker 1>want to focus on dine out Help Out on Monday,

121
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.079
<v Speaker 1>February twenty fourth. What's that about.

122
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So we always do.

123
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:53.120
<v Speaker 3>During Dine Out Long Beach a a charity component and

124
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.000
<v Speaker 3>we call it Past the Plate. So we've done it

125
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 3>different variations. It looks different each year. But this year,

126
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:04.680
<v Speaker 3>because of wildfires, are nonprofit Partner Restaurants Care, which is

127
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.040
<v Speaker 3>the nonprofit arm of the California Restaurant Association. They have

128
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:14.360
<v Speaker 3>an LA Fire Fund and it's for restaurants to help

129
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 3>their own so any restaurant tours, it is a great program.

130
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:22.199
<v Speaker 3>Any restaurant tours or employees that work for restaurants affected

131
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.319
<v Speaker 3>by the wildfires, whether they lost the restaurant, lost their home,

132
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.879
<v Speaker 3>are displaced, out of work, whatever that we are raising

133
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.120
<v Speaker 3>money for that group. Because Neil, as you know, restaurants

134
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 3>are always the first to donate gift cards for school

135
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.800
<v Speaker 3>office know everything, donate food for a charity event.

136
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>So this one is helping their own get back on

137
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:43.439
<v Speaker 2>their feet.

138
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, we lost some really good restaurants with these

139
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.519
<v Speaker 3>wild buyers. But not only that, there's people that you know,

140
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 3>the restaurants closed for fire damage.

141
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.839
<v Speaker 2>They don't have a job, but they still have their bills.

142
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 3>So on February twenty fifth, most of the restaurants participating

143
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 3>in Dine Out Long Beach and you can go to

144
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.079
<v Speaker 3>our website Dineoutlongbeach dot com. It's right on the landing

145
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.720
<v Speaker 3>page on who's giving back. Everyone's giving back a minimum

146
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 3>of ten percent. Because restaurants are generous, many are giving

147
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:16.959
<v Speaker 3>back more for the restaurants closed on Monday, and that's

148
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.839
<v Speaker 3>Michael's on Naples and Vino e Kutina, they are going

149
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 3>to do it on Tuesday because they're not open on Monday.

150
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 3>Stella Autois one of our sponsors, they'll be giving back

151
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 3>as well. So yeah, so it's a big effort for

152
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:38.519
<v Speaker 3>restaurants to help you know, their restaurant friends over in

153
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 3>the Palisades and uh, you know Alta, Dina and Malibu.

154
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:47.639
<v Speaker 1>So restaurants helping restaurants, you will not find a more

155
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.960
<v Speaker 1>generous group of humans. There's something, of course, it's the

156
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 1>hospitality industry. But I'm always blown away how much like

157
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.399
<v Speaker 1>chefs busting their hump every single day and then any

158
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.480
<v Speaker 1>time off they have is always doing charity work. It

159
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>blows my mind.

160
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.720
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, and they you know, a lot of people don't

161
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 3>realize this. You know, we have seen prices increase in restaurants,

162
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 3>but we've seen it increase in the grocery store, so

163
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:18.759
<v Speaker 3>there's a correlation. But the margins are really small for restaurants,

164
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:19.559
<v Speaker 3>and you.

165
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Know, but they're the first to raise their hand when

166
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, if they're asked.

167
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:24.639
<v Speaker 3>I you know, I've had to do it for my

168
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.320
<v Speaker 3>kids school, for different charities I'm involved with. I've never

169
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:31.039
<v Speaker 3>been turned down by a restaurant. You know, they're always

170
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 3>willing to help.

171
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 2>So this time they're going to help their own. But

172
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.080
<v Speaker 2>just to be clear, they've also been helping along the

173
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:38.440
<v Speaker 2>way too.

174
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.639
<v Speaker 3>A lot of these restaurants have already done benefits for

175
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 3>oh yeah, yeah, yeah, for the American Red Class.

176
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>This one will go.

177
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:49.600
<v Speaker 3>Like I said, to restaurants, care all the proceeds raised

178
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 3>from that and it's the nonprofit arm of their California

179
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:54.559
<v Speaker 3>Restaurant Association.

180
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.440
<v Speaker 1>One thing that I want to point out is ease

181
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:01.360
<v Speaker 1>of use for people who have not been to the website.

182
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.519
<v Speaker 1>If you want to find out more, go to Dine

183
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Out Longbeach dot com. Dine Out Longbeach dot com really

184
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:10.000
<v Speaker 1>cool the way it's set up. It's got a user

185
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:14.519
<v Speaker 1>interface that's super simple. You can search the restaurants, or

186
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>you can search a neighborhood or a cuisine style that

187
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>you like, and it makes it very easy for you

188
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.159
<v Speaker 1>to kind of say, you know what, I want to

189
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>go out and I want to check out Signal Hill

190
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>or you know, Heartwell Park or something, and you can

191
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.559
<v Speaker 1>put that in there and it will tell you which

192
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>restaurants that are participating in Dine Out Long Beach this

193
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.559
<v Speaker 1>year are in that area. So we have just a

194
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.639
<v Speaker 1>couple of minutes here, Elizabeth, what are some things that

195
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.399
<v Speaker 1>you want to focus on? Is I know you have

196
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>cocktails tied into it this year. How what's the best

197
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.519
<v Speaker 1>way for people to participate in Dine Out Long.

198
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Beach And, like you said, go to their website.

199
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.679
<v Speaker 3>You don't have to you know, certain restaurants, it's probably

200
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 3>best if you make a reserve just the nature. You know,

201
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:06.200
<v Speaker 3>like I said, like the Breakers, it's the hot new

202
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:09.000
<v Speaker 3>kid in town, so probably you were going.

203
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:10.159
<v Speaker 2>To want to make a reservation there.

204
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:14.039
<v Speaker 3>But you know, restaurant week, restaurant cocktail Week, you don't need.

205
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Any tickets or anything like that.

206
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.240
<v Speaker 3>You just go to the restaurant ask for their dine

207
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 3>out long beach menu.

208
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 2>You know, you don't have to also order off that menu.

209
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:23.559
<v Speaker 3>If you get there and you're like, you know what,

210
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 3>I like what they have on the regular menu, order that.

211
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:27.080
<v Speaker 2>You know.

212
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 3>Really it's a way to try a new restaurants, get out.

213
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Of your comfort zone a little bit, try something new.

214
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 3>Support our restaurants, you know, we want them to stick around,

215
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.120
<v Speaker 3>and you know, and the best way to kind of

216
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.720
<v Speaker 3>find out what's going on is go to the website

217
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:51.519
<v Speaker 3>and again you can search by cuisine, by neighborhood. You know,

218
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:53.799
<v Speaker 3>all the menus are posted on there, so you can

219
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.559
<v Speaker 3>see what their dine out menu is. But again, if

220
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 3>it's something where you're like, well, I want to go

221
00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.600
<v Speaker 3>to the restaurant, but I'm not sure I want this

222
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:04.000
<v Speaker 3>particular menu, just go and have the regular menu you know,

223
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:05.600
<v Speaker 3>they're just glad.

224
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:05.960
<v Speaker 2>To have you in.

225
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:09.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and supporting restaurants. I always say, don't complain to

226
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.559
<v Speaker 1>me when these things go away, because they got to

227
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 1>support them. And the good thing is, you know what,

228
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:20.639
<v Speaker 1>if you like Lucille's Smokehouse Barbecue, which I do, and

229
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:23.279
<v Speaker 1>you want to just take advantage and it's one of

230
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:24.960
<v Speaker 1>your favorites, you want to just take advantage of a

231
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:28.799
<v Speaker 1>discount or something that they're doing for dine out Long

232
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Beach great, but I also recommend going and saying, hey,

233
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what, we've never ever been to Naples Rib

234
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Company or something. Let's try that during this week and

235
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:44.559
<v Speaker 1>dine out Long Beach so that we can try something new,

236
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of both and maybe mix it up.

237
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.759
<v Speaker 1>Go out a couple of times during you know, the week,

238
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.919
<v Speaker 1>and enjoy it days. And now you're talking. That's the

239
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.159
<v Speaker 1>way to do it, all right. Dine Out Longbeach dot com.
