Alright ur in L.A. Here's some recommendations from a local. Pink's Hotdogs, El Coyote (for great Mexican), Porto's Bakery (you wont regret, trust me 🤤), Randy's Donuts from Waynes World, Medieval Times in Buena Park for a great time and relive some Cable guy nostalgia. 2 awesome outdoor malls in LA, The Grove and The Americana, they're like miniature Disnleylands, you'd love. Once you're in Orange County area, Moreno's for great Mexican food and atmosphere (sit outside on beautiful landscaped patio area)

You want quirky and/or classic Los Angeles food? Try Philippe for a French Dip, Pink’s hot dogs in Hollywood, Canter’s in West Hollywood for giant matzo ball soup. If you come to Orange County, go eat at Rutabegorz in the city of Orange, and also enjoy the Orange Circle, which you can see in tons of videos on the Randomland channel. I wish we could offer you a spot to park in Anaheim, but HOA rules say nono, dang it. You might be able to stealth park the RV on the side Santa Ana Canyon Rd (east Anaheim) a block from a restaurant called Flappy Jack’s (great omelettes).

you know....I remember the beginning... you have changed a lot imho... but the Eric I see now is so much MORE than the younger version.. but the younger version was the one I began watching and stayed with to see how the journey would play out from video to video..... you may have lost some viewers Eric...but I have been here since the beginning.... and I am always curious what the next video will bring !! I like that the videos are not all quirky... or all remodeling the RV, or all your travel days, or the trials and tribulations of life in an RV... but I LOVE that it is a patchwork quilt of all of them.... it is the fabric that is making of your life... and we are lucky enough that you are sharing it with us..... does anyone stop and think how cool that is???? I for one, am looking forward to what is yet to come !!

The “Castle” themed pizza place would not be surprising to older Californians, it was probably a old Round Table Pizza. Back in 80’s, it was one if not the best pizza in SoCal. Round Table was a Camelot themed restaurant with those same shields on the wall. Brought back great memories of little league games and birthday parties. Thanks

Round Table Pizza still exists. I’m not sure how many there are, but I know there’s one in Yorba Linda and one in Orange. Their Gourmet Veggie is my favorite pizza ever. Goes excellent next to a juicy ribeye.

I totally agree with driving through big cities at night. I made the mistake of driving through Houston around 5 pm on my way to Galveston. The return trip was at 2am. To navigate through big, unfamiliar cities I put on my Bluetooth earbuds, pop up my map program on my phone and set my destination. Helps so much to have that automated voice as my navigator helping to keep me on track.
