The Emergence of drive-in restaurants in Southern California started with the first drive-in A&W®.

13 min - Show Introduction
About the Show
We love classic cars and great American comfort food! This show will feature both topics and how they are intertwined in our culture. Specifically, we will focus on the Southern California car culture and its related food scene. If you think about it, cars and comfort food have been paired together in Southern California for nearing 100 years!
The goal of the show is to explore the history of the automobile and the development of the restaurant space. But we won’t stop there. Our hope is to delve into how automobiles changed our culture and affected daily living in Southern California. From drive-in restaurants to drive-in theaters, automobiles have made a huge impact on each of our lives.
We’re excited to discuss what is happening in the classic car scene today and follow some of the latest trends in the restaurant sector and how the two worlds continue to be intertwined.
By exploring our past, focusing on the present and pondering about the future, perhaps we will gain some perspective on the road ahead.
Please join us as we buckle up and go for a ride!
