American Idle

One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen is the “Lazy Sunday” Chronicles of Narnia rap from SNL. Even better is the West Coast repsonse “Lazy Monday” Color Me Mine rap. Hillarious. Hillarious. Hillarious. Probably most people have seen these already. I’ve known about them for a while, but only getiting around to blogging about them now.
Just as an aside, there’s a part in the Color Me Mine vid where the rappers go to the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. That store is in Brentwood on San Vicente and Barrington. Prior to being a Coffee Bean, it was Sushi Boy. Before that it was All-American Burger. As in, “You used to work at All-American Burger”.
I used to work at All-American Burger. 20 years ago. Damn, that’s a long time. Ironically, it was hardly an “All-American” place. At the time, the owner, Amal was from Iran and the chef, Jose, who was American by birth, was born in Rose, Texas, right on the border and didn’t speak more than a handful of English words. That left me as the All-American front man.
The food was awesome, still is in the remaining locations. Hickory burgers and Orange Whips. Yum!
