I knew Frank Richmond - first met Frank in 1949 or so when he visited a girl friend who went to Huntington Beach Union High School - where I attended. To the "anonymous" poster who posted a comment about Francois' on 11/06/10. The area was saturated with patrols for the next two hours but nothing out of the ordinary was found or seen.It is still the only report of Crusaders The police upon seeing the girls condition had no doubt she had been telling the truth. The Police arrived rather quickly but found no one except a terrified girl hiding behind a fryer trying to call her mom to come pick her up. And that's how the call went out "Crusaders in the parking lot". The dispatcher managed to calm her a bit and she went on to describe them as having "Large red crosses on the front and rear of their robes" and "I think ones a hunchback".įrom the girls description,the astute dispatcher decided that they weren't monks but probably Crusaders. She screamed that "Monks in robes are pounding on the windows". Sometime around 1972-73 The Buena Park Police recieved a call from a hysterical young girl working alone in the Tastee-Freeze. The Tastee Freeze on Western ave just north of Orangethorpe was the scene of one of the weirdest events in Buena Park history. Ford pre-delivery was back there and most of the young guys working there were muscle car owners. One of the roads just west of the plant was a common place for street racers in the seventies. We always figured it had to do with compacting the ground for a good foundation. Before the Nabisco Plant was built, a huge mountain of dirt was built up on the sight and remained there a year before the plant was actually built. "Wood Pit BBQ" but if you looked they always had the same two fake logs under the spit.I never saw a real piece of wood in there. The open pit BBQ in the dining room gave the place an authentic feel. They had two sons, Jerry and Richard who both worked as hosts while attending Western High School in the early 60s.

O'garity's rest on Lincoln just west of Beach was built and owned by Lou and Dolly O'garity who lived on San Martin Way. Of course, who can't remember The Barn, on Red Hill Ave and Edinger in Tustin? That location is no longer there, but they used to have red & white checkered table cloths, and saw dust all over the floor. It was the first restaurant in the current BJ's Restaurant and Brewery. I can add to that list, the original BJ's Pizzeria, on 17th street in Santa Ana, just a block east of Bristol. Too bad they stopped serving those, but of course, I had to invent my own! Then they would top it with marinara sauce, black olives, green onions, and Italian sausage rounds. is still with us, but do you remember that Italian baked potato they used to serve at the South Coast Plaza store in the late 1970s? They would mash up the potato, adding butter. I remember that Salvatore's would give you food for an army!Ĭarls Jr. Mama Cozza's and Salvatore's were mentioned in here, and I remember those as being outstanding restaurants. Over the decades, I've also missed Seafood Broiler, Belgian Waffle, and Jolly Roger. I always ordered the "Parisian Picnic," which was a Caesar salad with fried brie, along with Baxter's special sweet bread. I often went to Baxter's on Walnut Avenue and Culver during the 1980s. They had a fantastic Chinese chicken salad, and their chicken curry was good, too!Įl Paso Cantina on Harbor & Adams had a wonderful chicken enchilada with verde sauce, and my husband still mourns the loss of those perfect flour tortilla chips they would serve with the salsa! One restaurant no one here mentioned is the old Ricky Rickshaw Chinese restaurant near John Wayne Airport circa mid- to late 1970s. I remember that their buffet was pretty good. That was truly a one-of-a-kind place! Another popular restaurant with the Ford crowd was Isidore's in Newport Beach on Pacific Coast Hwy. In the late 1970s, all the employees at Ford Aerospace would trek over to the Gorda Liz Restaurant in Newport Beach for lunch. Actually everything they served was of impeccable quality, including the Mai Tais! My most vivid memories of that place were the entertainment and the delicious ginger salad dressing. What a time trip!ĭuring the 1960s and 1970s, one of my favorite restaurants was Kono Hawaii.

This is a great web site! I'm always remembering old restaurants in Orange County that bit the dust years ago. Anonymous writes of some old restaurants in Orange County that perhaps no longer exist.
