From KCRW, I'm Evan Klyman, and this is good food.

You know, us as Americans, or maybe us as Earth residents, but definitely as Americans,

we get told our entire life about the Grand Canyon. All of us, to a certain degree, feel that

we have a handle on this concept known as the Grand Canyon.

But once you go to the Grand Canyon for the first time and you see the Grand Canyon, you're like,

oh, I had no idea that this is what they were talking about. You could have the most brilliant,

you kind of kind of try to fit it in there, but it really doesn't fit. This is the same concept.

driving through the neighborhood, answering countless texts and DMs asking,

is my house still there? Randy shares the story in this week's In the Weeds.

I'm Randy Clement, and I am one of the owners of Good Neighbor Bar in Altadena.
