Love the collaboration with Chris from Yellow Productions. You both always provide the most helpful, useful, and accurate travelling info..

[@californiathroughmylens]

Kind of you to say! I enjoyed connecting with him for this video!

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Pro Wrestling is Art!

[@YellowProductions]

It was a pleasure to shoot this with you Josh! Looking forward to our next outing!

TK Burger and a boxing class on me at UFC GYM Huntington Beach next time you guys come to town

[@Rosalie-ct8mi]

You 2 are such friendly & relaxed guys! Nice to see you together in this video! You provide such good and useful info! You give so much special tips about food like that Malasada burger that I never knew, even as a flight attendant for 30 years from The Netherlands and having been many times to California, this was new to me! To see California through your eyes is so much more fun AND these useful tips save you disappointments and time! Thank you for all these tips! 🌷

[@YellowProductions]

@@Rosalie-ct8mi Thanks Rosalie!

[@lindawallace6750]

Huntington Beach ROCKS !

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

I first lived there in 1978...as close to heaven as a kid could see. Five more years and I will return to retire in the city I fell in love with... there's no greater place to be! #HB4ever!

[@sunnybeachwalks4k2022]

Love Chris from yellow productions

[@_Dana_B]

OMG!!! I had warm Malasadas on the Big Island and had been looking for them for years! I was just in HB and no idea they were there!! Now I know! Thanks, Josh!! I learn something new about Cali everytime I watch your videos!! Hope Amy and the twins are well!😀

[@katv3116]

This place is the highest reviewed donut spot :) you’ll love it

[@californiathroughmylens]

I need to try it next time! I had no idea what Chris was ordering haha

[@YellowProductions]

Hi Dana -- if you really like Malasadas then you should really try Paderia Bakehouse, locations in Irvine and Fountain Valley -- they specialize in Malasadas and Portuguese egg tarts!

[@_Dana_B]

@@YellowProductions Thank you!!

[@rephaelrechitzky9763]

Josh, that was great. I love your KZbins. Thank you for sharing. Your forever smile is a great reason for watching too.

[@eileenmori8560]

You were in my backyard this time. It was fun to see all the places you went to that the "locals" go to all the time. Love your videos.

[@californiathroughmylens]

That's awesome! Yea I don't get to spend much time there but I love the area

[@YellowProductions]

Great backyard you have Eileen!

[@livinginoc]

Great Video! I love helping people move to our beautiful community!

[@greatpix]

I am an admitted Doughnut Snob and lived OC for over 50 years. In that time I've experienced the waning of truly good doughnuts. Today there's only one good shop and that's K D's Donuts in the Raph shopping center on Portola Parkway between Alton and Bake. I had to move out of state several years ago and whenever I have friends or family from the area coming to visit I ask them to go to KD's and bring me a box of my favorites.

[@barbredgreen3403]

Josh and Chris. Smiles. Donuts. On the beach. EPIC!!!

[@YellowProductions]

Right on Barb!

[@prowrestlingisart6742]

Friendly Donuts in Orange is wonderful! You should definitely stop there. They have such a good variety of traditional, vegan, and mochi donuts

[@californiathroughmylens]

Next time for sure!

[@TraveltheWorldwithKris]

I really love watching all the birds at the Bolsa chica wetlands! I also gotta check out that donut place. I highly suggest visiting Monster Muffins! Great video! 😎

[@autumnb1664]

My hometown. You need to come back on Tuesday evening for Surf City Nights and Sunday evening for the drum circle by the pier.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the tip Autumn!

[@Rosalie-ct8mi]

Thank you for this beautiful video full of useful and good information! It can save you a lot of time and disappointment to have the right and accurate info! It is so nice to see California through your eyes Josh as a Dutch flight attendant for 30 years I have been to many diners etc. but to know for instance good donuts and fresh fish places it is better to know this from you! And the collaboration with Chris I loved! Nice to see that there is no competition, but ollaboration and I love it to see 2 guys having fun together filming this video! Thank you Josh for all your information and I am a new Dutch fan! By the way you have a beautiful voice especially when you do the voice over!

[@lukematheis8408]

Huntington Dog Beach is a great spot to take your dog to!

[@JohnTaylor-xg4jn]

My hometown! The neighborhood by the pier is more touristy now, but it's still my happy place

[@garyconley69]

Hey Josh. This just popped up on my you tube feed. I am so doing this close to exactly how you did it. Maybe on St. Patricks day!! One of my best friends moved to Orange County and we used to go to Huntington when we were in high school. Which was a while ago. I think I'll clone your day here and do almost all the same things. My wife and kid like boba so the tea place looked fun. Also my wife and I are doing as much hiking as we can these days so I think we will check out the bolsa chica reserve which we have never done. Have a great weekend and thanks again for the video!

[@jpadicecoffee9812]

Bolsa Chica, the best kept secret along HB's beach, free parking and no noise. Only the few wetlands in SoCal unless you go to Morro Bay... I go to BC whenever I'm in town and also to that Pete's Coffee at the Bella Terra. BTW: I avoid the modern HB pier area along PCH after they demolished the old buildings in late 80s....

[@hedycohen9804]

You two are great! I love both of your channels. Fun to see your collaborations. Thank you both for all of your wonderful information.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Hedy!

[@paulmadmanlee5065]

We love the donuttery that is the best donuts and there's another one too called B&B Donuts in Fullerton California absolutely heavenly. Nice to see you in our stomping ground of Huntington Beach where we lived. That place is so busy during the week just like it was busy when you went in there it's the most popular one in that area. We enjoy you and your father on the road keep them coming.

[@californiathroughmylens]

So glad you liked the video and I will check out that donut shop in Fullerton! More adventures with my dad coming up on my other channel from our time in New England for fall colors!

[@duncanpmasterdunc6066]

My favourite Cali town, not many vlogs cover it so brilliant you visited Josh. Pops would have sure loved those Doughnuts…..

[@mixeddrinks8100]

should of went when it was Pacific Airshow. My favorite time to go to Huntington Beach. That tea spot is pretty good. My man there knows his tea.

[@normaiwahashi9549]

My TWO FAVORITE KZbinRS! AWESOME VIDEO!!! 😃👍😃👍

[@tank3598]

Thank you so much for this video, I visited the museum and met some truly great people. The artwork is so beautiful and the volunteers are awesome.

[@JasmineApple]

Love the collab! It's always fun to see my fav KZbinrs work together! Loved the HB tour. Will def check out the Bolsa Chica preserve.

[@californiathroughmylens]

So glad you liked it! Always appreciate all the helpful tips on Chris channel

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Jasmine! Bolsa Chica is a really neat easy hiking spot!

[@lexlovesthebeach]

Loved the collab - you guys played well off each other! I've just recently discovered your channels Josh but have been watching Chris for a while, so it was really fun to watch you guys explore and share info together. Hope you will do it again soon!!

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks A Stevens!

[@leyu22]

Love the tea place! Wish there were more places that make your tea in front of you like that!

[@YellowProductions]

Me too taki!

[@christophersmith5849]

I loved being there last month, if you are on main street do go to the four sons brewing, great little beer place. Surprised how cheap on street parking was of a night compared to the car parks

[@californiathroughmylens]

Sweet thanks for the tip!

[@Covid.....]

Great collaboration.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Peri!

[@ozzywon]

Their Maple bacon bar is da bomb! Great to see your perspective on HB. Next time get to Shipley’s nature center in Central Park. It’s an amazing place in a city of 200k people. Love your content!

[@anthonywarthold]

I love it ! Two of my favourite KZbinrs together. Both of you are such genuinely nice guys. I hope you do more colabs together 👍🏻😎

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Anthony!

[@00001kbee]

Love when you guys get together.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Knol!

[@Califoreigners]

NIce! so cool that you guys got to meet up and explore :)

[@FlowJunkie65]

Gosh, nice to see HB again. In my teens I was down there almost weekly to surf. Last time I surfed down there: 1976. 😳 Jack's Surf Shop was a regular stop for surfboard wax. Boy, has THAT and the surrounding areas changed over the years! Nice tour, thanks for the walk down Memory Lane!

[@californiathroughmylens]

That is awesome that you used to visit the area! I can't imagine how much it has changed!

[@YellowProductions]

Yeah... HB has definitely grown up over the years!

[@go4mir]

you missed out on Adams Ave Donuts! they’ve been there since the 70’s and have an awesome car show every saturday morning!

[@YellowProductions]

I'll add that to my donut list Miranda!

[@abyrupus]

Oooh my favorite cross-over !!!! Love both of your channels.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks so much 😊

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks abhi!

[@markkendrick7547]

Surf was fun this morning and afternoon on Northside of the Pier.....I also bought one of those Guava filled donuts at the Donuttery a month ago...Not bad... ..🌊🏄🍩🔥💪👊

[@YellowProductions]

mmmm... guava donut

[@s.7.7.74]

I love pudding in my tea. It’s delicious.

[@californiathroughmylens]

I will have to try it!

[@aaropajari7058]

Huntington Beach is my favorite place in the entire United States. No trip is complete without getting advice from Zoltar.

[@YellowProductions]

Zoltar... advice to live by!

[@btspaintingstudio]

SO LOVE DONUTS🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩 AND COFFEE☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕ THANKS FOR SHARING AND WAITING FOR YOUR NEW VIDEO

[@MrSarahsweetness11]

My two favorites! Me and my husband love following you both, I’ve done roller skating videos here for my KZbin channel.

[@YellowProductions]

Right on! Thanks Sarahtonin!

[@westinalbers4005]

Beat Flag Fish Co is amazing! We have been eating there Poke at the one in Newport for years.

[@YellowProductions]

Love the one in Newport too!

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

Awesome. I thought about heading there recently, but Laguna was calling 😊. Zoltar is everywhere it seems! This reminded me of Dana point but much bigger. So fun to see Chris with you. He is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic (not that you aren’t haha)

[@californiathroughmylens]

Laguna is amazing for sure! Yea it was fun to finally connect with Chris for a video

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Magellan and Greyhound! I really wonder how many people actually get Zoltar to tell them their fortune... must be enough to keep them there and plugged in :)

[@TPlug_Journeys]

Great collab guys!!!

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Tplug!

[@christiannienaber7628]

Crazy, the Malasada looks pretty similar to what we call in Germany Krapfen or "Berliner", never heard of this version

[@YellowProductions]

Indeed... it's like a Berliner... just with a tropical filling

[@texasgina]

I miss the Golden Bear club. My friends brothers band played there back in the day

[@kellyjohnson3617]

I’ve never really explored Huntington Beach yet. I’m more familiar with Torrance and seal beach. Which I really love those towns for different reasons. Snd long beach to an extent. When I’m down near Torrance I always get my Japanese food fix. I will have to check out Huntington Beach as well. Thanks for posting

[@californiathroughmylens]

I need to spend more times in those towns as well!

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Kelly! HB is just a hop skip and a jump away from Seal Beach :)

[@mattfriel2724]

I was wondering if you guys knew each other. Well done Josh and Chris.

[@californiathroughmylens]

First time meeting up! Had a great time exploring

[@YellowProductions]

It's like we've known each other for years right? :).

[@wanderrhea]

Yay, 🤟🏽

[@DoomGoober]

ComeBuy still exists in Southern California? I'm so envious! It was around other places, but other than Taiwan and So-Cal they all closed. I have fond memories of that place.

[@YellowProductions]

Yup! This one location in Huntington Beach!

[@yvonnereza4824]

New sub here thx to Chris! You guys are great 👍🏼 together! 👏🏼😎

[@YellowProductions]

Glad you made it over to check out Josh's content Yvonne!

[@markakira8988]

What! I had to do a double take at the video thumbnail. One of my nerdy aspirations when I'm old is to metal detect beaches like Huntington and use the money to like...buy those donuts.

[@californiathroughmylens]

haha that sounds like a fantastic way to spend a day 😀

[@rupman27isback]

Before clicking the video, I read "surfing" in the title. I honestly thought Josh was gonna surf haha. Still an awesome video as always. But Josh, you should try it lol.

[@californiathroughmylens]

haha I actually used to surf a lot in college but it has been a while since I have done it, probably would have trouble catching a wave now

[@YellowProductions]

I'll try to get Josh surfing next time!

[@rupman27isback]

@@YellowProductions awesome!!

[@debbiel7659]

So Good too see you both! get the sweet children together next time!!

[@coffeecoffeecoffee7651]

Great video Josh! But honestly how are you a Californian and you didn't know about pudding in boba tea?!?!?

[@jphan21]

OMG I’m looking for another cat riding a bike pin wheel to replace the one I have! Looked all over Northern California beach cities and even San Diego… now I know where to find one from this video. And I love guava desserts so definitely going to the doughnut shop.

[@californiathroughmylens]

So glad the video was helpful!

[@YellowProductions]

Hah! Go.. get the pinwheel now before they sell out!
