5:07 what that's so cool oh I've seen is that where the whole I think there's a hotel there too sick man have you ever seen have you ever seen those things where like whenever they have like caves you could like spend the night there and then like that's pretty absolutely that's scary dude that's so cool stalagmatites and tights but that's crazy that it's um so it's on that little platform that you saw and it's it's 210 feet below ground and it's a four table 16 seat restaurant Airbnb that you actually have to like snorkel down to and then you come out of this air pocket and it's just this like small bedroom you have like your kitchen stuff like that they also deliver pizza to you oh my God but you have to spend like the whole 24 hours and you stay there you're under water dude

6:49 people right it's a basement Sushi box you have to get the courage to say excuse me don't say it it's a sushi bar in the basement and you have to go down the stairs at the parking garage on second or something instead of up like you got to go down and oh ████ what we didn't even know what else that's like in our backyard whoa what what if there's no one shot [Laughter] in Miami there's uh like a upscale restaurant that's through this door of a

7:40 taco restaurant that's cool yeah you go in there you see a bunch of like fancy people dressed in yeah exactly what happened to me yeah that happened to me on Melrose it's gone now but on Melrose there was a grilled cheese restaurant that had a really amazing grilled cheese it was like the size of this part of the room and uh I kept seeing people like so you have your kitchen right there right and it's they're the guy with the counter he's sitting there like taking order behind him there's a kitchen I would go there like pretty often and I brought these uh Olympic skaters with me one day I was like I gotta try grilled cheese place we're sitting there Olympic skaters yeah hanging out and then all these people in suits and dresses started walking out of the back and they were like what the hell is that and then they we were like should we go and just walk back there and see and we're like all right this dude stops us we'll just

8:31 not do it so we got up and we walked literally behind the counter the guy acts like he doesn't see us he's just like standing here we go all the way to the back of the kitchen like a kitchen you'd see in an action movie when everyone's fighting through it or like Goodfellas yeah so we go to the kitchen it's the freaking fridge and the fridge you open the fridge nice ass restaurant yeah yeah a whole like nice ass steak steak that is an entrance they have a uh in Hollywood though they do uh it's like a fridge that you walk through I think it's a bar though oh yeah yeah yeah yeah um good time good time Dave wins yeah this one like they don't advertise this place at all and then you go in there and and we had a nice dinner and like steak so you dropped your grilled cheese yeah what'd you say let me say but then don't eat it the place went back girl because nobody ████ knows it's there that's the downside down so it literally

9:23 went bankrupt you really got it that's your fault for wanting me to be a secret yeah yeah you're saving cool for a little bit dude it was they didn't see covet coming I'm so lucky that I we found out the way we did because we literally didn't know no one said nothing that guy didn't say anything we just literally you guys explore you can see that the dude at the restaurant was like nice cool these guys they're adventurers yeah it's exactly like this it's like a normal restaurant in the back it's the real thing and it's kind of like on Rose you got all these rows of stores and shops and sometimes there's Courtyards in the middle that you can't see and that's where they built that restaurant so um when you got there was there a host was there absolutely as soon as we opened the fridge someone's like hi welcome to Fuddruckers [Laughter]

10:19 dude that's so funny imagine that tableside grilled cheese it's not as good restaurant you're like working so hard you're like what is going on hi welcome to Hollywood Applebee's there's another uh cool place in New York that the entrance is so it's in an art gallery cool but the entrance is behind one of the paintings oh wow that's ████ cool see that's the kind of work I want to see yeah not a curtain you know what now I'm thinking about a shower curb all you do is this yeah [Laughter] I know yeah dude there's a door yeah let me

11:09 climb through something give me a bookshelf yeah oh let me open this table and like there's stairs in there you know like something there's a bookshelf entrance one too let me sit on a ████ piano that turns the other way [Applause] that's a ████ Dream by the way let me go to a ████ fireplace and like pull the wrong lever and then it just goes and pull up the poker so Marianne's in San Francisco the entrance is in this lounge and it's behind that bookshelf right there oh that's cool is Magic Castle yeah you enter through like a like a like a bookshelf yeah yeah that's not magic but I I think you gotta say oh you gotta say what's what's the code word I can't tell you

12:13 oh that's weird there's a place called Blind Tiger and that's in Florida this place they said the entrance is past the bathroom of a different restaurant oh that's kind of weird right so I I'm assuming that these secret restaurants typically don't last very long depending on how good the food is yeah honestly I don't know because the one that I knew about it was gone in like two years or do you think they move because they're like ah people too many people know us you know what's funny I think they I think they tried to move because I remember seeing it in like Silver Lake and then it just never opened and then it was gone so maybe like yeah I've been a one in Highland Park actually but it was like a barber shop and then the back was like a really cool really Swanky bar but there was no secret it would be just a guy in a door

13:04 it'd be funny if this was an entrance to a nice ass restaurant in all videos you see people walking that'll be hilarious and we're just filming yeah they don't even think it's a real show hey do you think some of these secret restaurants like are also a secret from the government too because then nobody knows that they're there oh so they don't pay tax pay taxes they're just making money off of people because they're there's no location you know they don't even follow code yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah because the front is the grilled cheese place it's not you know that's how you launder Monday yeah yeah but how do you put an address on a secret place yeah if it's owned by another place I never thought about that what are they just subletting dude that's what all it is like hey you want

13:55 to open up but it's a secret nobody knows it's there so I wonder if it's legal to make a secret restaurant access be like if you held one in three on an elevator and it like that's cool you gotta program it that takes you to a certain floor then you're gonna get less people in your restaurant because someone's gonna ████ that up and they're gonna be like ████ this this I think it'd be cool if we turned our entrance of the studio into a secret door foreign

14:48 [Music]
