Old Spaghetti Factory is a chain of restaurants that started in Portland, Oregon, USA.

[@Jack_Stafford]

I think in most of North America, it's soup OR salad, salad is usually thought of as an appetizer or add on and not the main dish. But I'm sure most places would sell both, it's not a steadfast rule just how most menus are set up. I love the Old Spaghetti Factory.... the warm bread... fresh made garlic butter, I could eat just that and be happy!

[@pattyestrada6]

I nearly died of laughter at the gloves thing 😂😭. Lia as you walked out of the restaurant I noticed the lump in your beanie but thought maybe you had your hair in a bun or a pony, and it was your gloves 😂😂 #dead ☠️ I can’t stop watching this, you keep tugging and pulling at your beanie as your walking out , probably cuz it keeps sliding off, but it’s because your gloves are in there and you have no idea! 😂 honestly thank you so much for this unintentional laugh.

[@wynn1111]

Downtown Toronto looks like lots of fun.

[@sandrajewitt6050]

The salt & pepper not being on the table is likely a Covid-19 measure. You could have asked for it.

[@kristaferailslieger4906]

I think the absence of salt (and pepper) is a Covid thing. Back when the pandemic started and they thought it might be spread by contact, all the restaurants removed all of the things from the tables that would normally remain as customers came and went. This was a “safety measure” to make customers feel safe. For some reason, even though we now know that Covid doesn’t spread that way, most restaurants have not reverted back. It’s kind of annoying.

[@trevorforrester3142]

Yes. I carry both salt and pepper packets in my wallet wherever I go. That way it doesn't matter if I visit a friend who doesn't use salt, or a restaurant that happens to be out... Or whatever the circumstance may be. Some people like salt that you have to grind on the spot and the granuals never are fine enough. I just pull a packet of regular salt out and I'm good.

[@Parker-930]

Salt and pepper are available on request at every restaurant, because of Covid. No need to feel annoyed.

[@trevorforrester3142]

That has not been my personal experience... I have actually been to places that were out of salt packets... Also been to convenient stores that were out as well. Most of all I've been to the home of different people who prepared a beautiful meal, but they personally had cut salt out of their diet or simply didn't believe in salt for whatever reason, which is fine to make changes in your personal life for better health reasons, however, they didn't think about having it on hand for guest purposes. OR, they will have some wooden contraption that grinds the salt on the spot, which never seems to grind it evenly leaving big chunks of salt behind. This is why I keep packets with me in my wallet. There are 2 things that can never be debated, and that's "preference",. and personal experiences. A person's preference is their preference... You'll never talk someone into liking onions if they don't like onions, and if someone's experiences is they've been places that didn't have salt.. you can't tell them their personal experience is not true.. end of story.

[@Parker-930]

@@trevorforrester3142 - we’re talking restaurants here. You ask for salt or pepper. They will bring it to you. Not packets. The salt and pepper shakers.

[@JEdwardBanasikJr]

I went out to a dinner function Friday night at a chain restaurant (hadn't been out in ages) and there was no salt/pepper shakers or packets of sweetener on the tables which in the past is normal. The silverware was in sealed paper sleaves. It's totally a covid thing.

[@michaelevans1193]

Glad you enjoyed your ghost tour. I am a ghost tour guide in Alexsndria, Virginia (outside Washington, DC). We dress in colonial era (late 18th century) costumes and at the end of the hour tour we abandon you in a graveyard.

[@matthewsmith908]

Protip, save yourself some work and make your guests dig their own graves, save yourself some time from burying them

[@Anna-B]

I miss Helena! I’m weirdly attached to her story

[@Beth92800]

They may not have salt and pepper shakes because of the pani 19. Canada seems stricter than the US and when we were more strict restaurants didn’t leave salt and pepper because they have to sanitize it after every customer. Maybe this way they only have to sanitize the shakers that are used.

[@goosebump801]

That was my thought as well 🤷‍♀️💐

[@vbvermont]

Yes! Anytime I e visited they have s&p shakers on the table, along with other condiments or sugar for coffee/tea.

[@kimgrandy_art_]

I have been watching you two for a couple years and I just love your friendship. Your banter is so genuine and adorable.

[@msbeaverhausen7226]

The restaurants on The Esplanade were a favorite of my parents when I grew up. The Old Spaghetti Factory hasn't changed one bit! I loved the warm bread and main dishes but I was never a fan of the spumoni. We also used to go to Scotland Yard, but I think that one is long gone. I'm glad that you enjoyed your meal. Now I am waiting for your final livestream of the trip

[@dorothypaul4642]

The Old Spaghetti Factory looked like so much fun. And your dinner Joel looked exactly like the kind of meal that I usually order out. I just love a big salad with grilled chicken on top! I've loved these videos of your trip!

[@javiervalverde628]

I love how much Joel brightened up when Lia said he could have her ice cream. 😂

[@janp719]

They removed salt, pepper, etc from tables during the pandemic. Just ask 😊

[@chrisk5651]

I did a Jack the Ripper tour in London in 2012. I would have never thought of it but my friend booked it. Also did a haunted hayride & corn maze. Also did a lantern tour of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery (where the Legend of Sleep Hollow was supposed to have taken place).

[@thomasrichards6245]

Dana says- Several of my relatives (Delavan family), from pre-Revolutionary War days & beyond, are laid to rest in the "Sleepy Hollow" cemetery that you mentioned. They have a grand family plot there and I've wanted to visit for years but haven't had the chance yet.

[@chrisk5651]

@@thomasrichards6245 it is such a beautiful place. We went back in the day time to enjoy it is the light as well!

[@MrEdwinhardesty]

The Old Spaghetti Factory's manager special, spaghetti with meat sauce and mizithra cheese is the best. It's a great restaurant for the price.

[@trippyerinsd]

Spaghetti Factory pasta topped with mizithra cheese and butter omg so goooood 😋🧀

[@scottski51]

Oh! You got seated in the trolley car! Always a highlight!! We're easily amused here.

[@rebeccajanemae]

Lia, I’ll bet those gloves disintegrate if you wash and put them in the dryer..LOL😂

[@tj_2701]

That was a Trolley(Street Car) not a Bus lol

[@teknekon]

First!!!

[@bkm2797]

We used to have a Spaghetti Factory here in San Francisco, wasn't as large, but it also had lots of stuff everywhere, (must say the food wasn't very good though). Lia kept saying Spaghetti House, which threw me off until you showed the menu. Funny watching you in Canada, when your in Miami. Hope you had a great time, and have a safe trip home.

[@crinkle2649]

When you tell your friends where you ate, remember it's a Factory not a House. 🙂

[@MichaelScheele]

Joel reads the sign at the restaurant and still gets the name wrong.

[@crinkle2649]

[@andreadeamon6419]

We have one by us. We usually go for birthdays

[@JEdwardBanasikJr]

I miss the Spaghetti Warehouse in Downtown Houston. It was housed in a warehouse built in 1912 along Buffalo Bayou (the primary "river" that runs through the city) and is reportedly haunted. Sadly, after too many floods with Hurricane Harvey being the final straw it closed down and evolved into a modern bistro in a shopping center. I grew up in the 70s going there with my family and it had the similar antique Victorian vibes to probably all similar concepts. Hot sour dough bread and spumoni ice cream. Great place to take out of towners. Totally unique. Yum!

[@char-leewiebe7199]

Shut! Up! I mean The Old Spaghetti house and the FRESH HOT BREAD!! My mom and both my sisters are gluten intolerant and eating by yourself is just not the same! :p

[@alisonrobinson3253]

From Vancouver BC we have Old Spaghetti Factory, but it's not considered "great pasta". We have a section called Little Italy that has amazing food.

[@J-Rod91]

0:12 Do Brits not understand what “pitch black” means? Because that is NOT “pitch black!” 😆😂🤣

[@rabrab3]

Come back to the USA and visit Savannah, GA. Most haunted city in the States and BEAUTIFUL!!

[@gordonwallin2368]

Hey! There's an Old Spaghetti Factory in Vancouver too-it's actually the first one. Cheers from Canada's West Coast.

[@Nikki7B]

Normally in every Canadian town/city, you have a condiments caddy on the tables that always have salt, pepper, ketchup and vinegar. This may have been because of the pandemic, because I am only seeing them back on tables now.

[@JWCinPDX]

Major references to Portland, Oregon, in this episode. Joel is wearing a Columbia Sportswear jacket. Columbia Sportswear was founded and is based in Portland. And the Old Spaghetti Factory was started, and all the restaurants are owned by -- not franchised -- a Portland company. Such a pity. Experiencing Portland in Montreal.

[@domeshine69]

The lack of salt shakers is due to Covid-19 precautions. They probably had single serve packets or could bring you some in a dish.

[@Shannon_Lacey]

I was really hoping to see someone scream! 😂 What a let down! I was making a bet with myself as to who would scream louder, Joel or Lia.. How disappointing.

[@JoDee172]

In your hat!🤣 Scrolling back, that explains why your hat was sitting up so high! At first I didn't even notice, but then it 😂

[@LurkerSmurf]

The Old Spaghetti Factory is a fun place to go. Many are put up near train stations. The one I went to in Fullerton, CA is about a hundred feet from the station. Not partial to the spumoni ice cream, but that's because I don't like pistachios.

[@Nunya_Bidness_53]

Ghosts are real, I've got at least two haunting my workplace. One is a giant floating shadow and the other one throws things. And I work nights 😬

[@robertschwartz4810]

You should have gotten the cake to go. If it were I, sometime around 11 o'clock I'd be yearning for it!

[@TheNerdistheWord]

That’s a cool place. Reminds me of The Spaghetti Warehouse ❤️

[@Meatnbeans]

I know you said you don’t like ghosts, but you should have went to Casa Loma for their haunted house.

[@robertsitch1415]

I can only imagine how cold you would find Canada later in the year or towards Winnipeg.

[@hollyjoann]

The Old Spaghetti House looks pretty much identical to the Spaghetti Warehouse in Dallas, which I don't think is there anymore. They even had the trolley car and the same bread and spumoni.

[@hollyjoann]

I was just reading, the Canadian chain started in 1970, the US chain started in 1972. I guess we copied Canada.

[@elizabethc3038]

Great idea Lia to put ur gloves in ur hat 👏👏

[@latebloomerabroad]

There's an Old Spaghetti Factory in San Jose, California where I moved in 1977 for university and stayed until 2016. As a student, it was one of the few restaurants where my friends and I could afford a meal, and the food was great. (The decor in San Jose looks just like this one in Toronto.) And it's still just as good! I usually just get the regular spaghetti with meat sauce and it never disappoints.

[@crinkle2649]

Cake is my favorite dessert

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Joel and Lia, Me and My Family lived in an old flat, Mam had the shop below(This was in the middle 1980s), one night Mam heard Leanne talking to someone so Mam said "Leanne, who are you talking too? "Leanne (aged 6 at the time) said I'm talking to the old lady, it turned out the old lady was a ghost from Victorian times, she had a winsette on (that's an old fashioned nightie), just to let you know, Bye the way I miss Helena, please have her back, if you don't I'll stop all recipes to Joels P.O BOX, Best regards ,Choppy from Whitehaven in Cumbria

[@michellevandyke5000]

I absolutely love The Old Spaghetti Factory. And that looked just like the one we go to in Palm Springs. Lia, I didn't know you weren't big on ice cream. All these years with El Presidente and I never suspected.

[@mayloo2137]

Here in Calgary, the Old Spaghetti Factory used to be on the Calgary Stampede route. You could enjoy a Stampede breakfast, then walk out and watch the parade. Sadly, it moved to a place called Eau Claire nearer the Bow River years ago.

[@annaguera4841]

We used to have a Spaghetti Factory not far from my house, downtown. Then about years ago it randomly closed. Then it suddenly opened up again..about 5 yra ago..and there more locations too. My brother worked there when he was a Sr. in H.S. I'm so jealous. I haven't been there in awhile. You guys reminded me how much I love that they bring their fresh warm homemade bread, and the garlic butter..mmmm...so good! Then they opened up a bunch of "Bucca de Beppos." First couple of years okay, but not as good for me taste wise. Then they changed the menu. Food taste and selection very different. I wasn't a fan at after that. It's been a long time since I've been there, so maybe it's better now. Macaroni Grill..whatever..for me. They both never compared to "Old Spaghetti Factory"... classic..."And I've always said it." 🤣

[@laura-leeoconnor6298]

OMG I love the Old Spaghetti Factory! All family holidays to Toronto included a stop there 🍝. The sour dough bread is incredible!

[@flickr4jazz]

The Old Spaghetti Factory in Nashville closed for good after the 2020 Christmas Day bombing.

[@richardnelson3227]

I was introduced to Spaghetti Factory 50 years ago when going to university in Vancouver. Then as a young college kid we thought it was great. Our school was 30 minutes out of Vancouver and it was the place to go along with "White Spot", still a popular western Canada chain. They have the best "Burgers".

[@johanargente6731]

Just phonin' it in?

[@dougbrowning82]

The trolley at The Old Spaghetti Factory in Winnipeg is on the patio (they couldn't fit it through the door), so it's not really an option in the winter.

[@matthewsmith908]

Been a long time since Ive been to spaghetti factory but I remember the ice cream being great, like it's spumoni ice cream I think?

[@markhall6306]

Joel go to White Castle to get cheese cake on a stick. I think White Castle should open up in London that would be epic.

[@PapaLynn1]

The pasta with brown butter sauce is the best dish at Old Spaghetti Factory!

[@robertdendooven7258]

You know this is a little dated when Helena is still in the mix. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Mr.Thriver]

Thank You very much, indeed!!

[@MsTrain69]

We used to have an Old Spaghetti Factory in Nashville, but then the crazy guy bombed that area of downtown Nashville on Christmas Day and they permanently closed.

[@terryomalley1974]

What a shame.

[@jonathanr8113]

We used to have a Spaghetti Warehouse in downtown Dallas that was actually haunted as well. I guess them ghost love spaghetti??

[@GC-pq6vm]

Same in Houston. Supposedly it used to be a pharmacy and someone died in the elevator shaft. I didn’t know there was one in Dallas too!

[@dorismedvetz5796]

Classic lia,the food looks so good

There are no ghosts in Canada. It’s too cold for ghosts.

[@JoDee172]

Yo! Ghosts LOVE Canada! Its the perfect climate for them 😊

[@terryomalley1974]

The colder the better for ghosts!!! All the better to spook you when you're already shivering.

Is it cold in Miami? (Clothes)

[@georgierockwood2355]

U really need 2 visit Savannah GA....the most haunted city in America.. And take the face diapers off !!!!

[@chevychase]

The Old Spaghetti Factory is basically McDonald’s with spaghetti.

[@bobbbxxx]

LOL! The Old Spaghetti House was a HUGE thing back in the 70's for families to take all the kids. I remember the interiors looking just like that.
