Los Angeles forumites - advise a tourist

It’s actually in Eagle Rock (next to Glendale) and is a great spot.

I'm a Masshole, it's Glendale to me. :)

The city of Eaglerock is named after a large rock that casts a shadow resembling an eagle with its wings outstretched. (See picture at bottom). It can be seen on the Eastbound 210 freeway in the city of Glendale (joke).
You can also see the Colorado Street bridge, aka 'Suicide Bridge', a few miles earlier. I believe Pasadena claims that. I left a picture with historical facts tied to Eaglerock.

There is supposedly, a delicious artisan pizza joint in the city of Eaglerock. I heard about it on The Petros And Money Show. They have a sports talk show, Mon - Friday on a.m. 690. A great and witty Southern California radio show. I dont have the name of said pie joint, but I can text the guys at the radio show via their 'Secret Textosa Line' to get it. I could give you the secret textosa line, but I would be betraying the secret.

And of course Gomez Adams, the best way to get to really know California isnt by eating the best chicken sandwich, or checking out its wine bars. It's on the seat of a motorcycle cruising through the canyons, and riding along the coast. The canyons offer refuge from the traffic, and breathtaking views. The' Rock Store' is a prime two wheel enthusiast destination. You may bump into Jay Leno, or Ahnold Schwarzenegger.

Do yourself a favor and plan a motorcycle trip in California someday. Highway One, the Pacific highway, from Ventura County, to Big Sur, to Monterey, and on up to San Francisco, is as good as it can get. If you plan this while catching a motorcycle race at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, even better. Hundreds of bikers plan that pilgrimage based on the race.

Casa Bianca is the classic old school eagle rock pizza joint, but I dunno if I'd call it "artisan", so maybe that's not what they were talking about.

Get the eggplant and green olive if you go there though

I think thats it. I have not tried it. I thought one of hosts mentioned artisan. I'm more of a traditional crust man. I tend to not discriminate when I have a slice in hand. The same goes for sex (joke). Sorry Honey.

their crust is pretty thin - they also do the "party cut" (cut in squares rather than wedges)

Also must visit (food-wise) in eagle is the oinkster ("artisan" pulled pork and pastrami sandwiches).

I should say "was", not "is" - all my LA info is ~5 years out of date, and restaurant stuff turns over fast, so take it all with plenty of grains of salt.

I'm making that trip. Im a pastrami sandwich aficionado. Thanks for the great tips.

Yes, it’s traditional pizza and it’s the best in the area. Not sure I would direct out of towners to a simply good pizza joint though.

OK, you have a shot with the wrong angle on the eagle. If you’re higher up, like at the level of the freeway, the rock formation clearly resembles the head of an eagle with the beak, and not a flying eagle.

While I have a vivid imagination, and I see the eagle head too, I found the shadow information online and thought it was interesting. Heres a normal picture.

Forget everything you have learned and what you think you know. Take an unbiased view at the eagle like shadow in the first picture. You dont see the eagle huh?

It’s a well worn subject. The natives named it Eagle Rock based on what is clear in this pic.

Since you don't direct out of towners to a great pizza place, do you have a wine bar you can recommend?
As for the shadow. Winkenfuckinpedia holmes. Apparantly they screwed over the indians too.
 
Here’s a better picture to make your point

It's good to see you are on board. I just learned the 'shadow of the eagle' fact today myself. I can see 5 eagles in the rock itself . That's a great picture
 
You mean the Wikipedia free contributor didn’t have access to the entire history of this subject?? God forbid. There are numerous articles and local guides that cover the topic. Go to Vromans bookstore in Pasadena in their section on local topics.

You chimed in quickly this morning when you thought the rock looked like a chicken head. Errr.....eagle head. It's good to see your argumentative swagger is back.

For the record, the head of my penis resembles that of an eagle. Aka Eaglecock.
'The Eagle Has Landed'

You can look that up on Wikayourmamapedia
