Groucho Marx used to come for a Pastrami on Rye daily at the back door. I worked in the 5900 building on Wilshire & sometimes treated myself to Canters.
Used to work for Sam at the gas station on the southwest corner of Fairfax and Oakwood back in the 70's. Canters was always the place for a great pastrami sandwich and matzah ball ( knaidelech) soup. Fantastic.
I love how I tuned in to learn about canters and hear people talk about one of my favorite restaurants but it turned into a conversation about how hard it is to live in LA. Yes it’s hard and it’s a sore topic when we talk about our personal struggles out here but when we’re at canters and we get a bowl of matzo ball soup, a pastrami sandwich and those sour pickles our cares melt away for a short while.
I noticed that too. Most annoying episode so far. I loved Huell but he misses the mark with some human interactions, I applaud the Canter family for their patience.
@@veggiedisease123 The guy from North Carolina said he had arrived 2 months prior to the filming of the episode and they just missed the riots. So you would be correct.
@@Ducksrule123 huell is funny with his cadence of talk , and also Adam Carolla every now and then goes on hilarious rants about this guy huell being he's an LA guy he grew up seeing him on TV out there ! 👍🥃🍺🚬🍷
@@garyny4073 Yes! Gary Canter is really my cousin. He passed a few years ago :( I have a picture of Axel and Slash standing up at Marc's wedding years ago.
@@RubenResidential sorry about your cousin , he must have been still young before he went , who's marc , is that the other canter guy I've seen on Tv On various documentaries about guns n roses 🌹 and such ? I'll have to check out that place my next trip soon to LA !
@@garyny4073 Thank you so much for your condolences 🙏. Marc is Gary's brother. He is now running Canter's Deli and is the one on the Guns N Roses documentaries. You should definitely visit Canter's, you won't be sorry!!
I used to live in the Fairfax neighborhood around 1974-75 and went there once in a while. I liked the decadent Pastrami Burritos at Oki dogs more than sandwiches. I figured this must have been around 92-93 since he mentioned the riots. I moved away in 93 but, still go to visit friends and family. Most of the time I stop at one of The Hat locations since they have more of them and their sandwiches are identical at every one of them. They are up to $11.75 now.
Good eye Eric Lopez l!! Your observation is spot on!! Huell was a filthy hound and that strapping young lad was EXACTLY his type. He had a sparkle in his eye, no doubt a boner in his pants, and I’m sure off camera slipped him directions to his desert compound, where he was known to host wild crazy parties for military boys and marine types (true story).
@@Mr22thou And she really felt it, poor lady -- it was a really uncomfortable moment. But he couldn't control himself, and I get that as well, but it is no less unpleasant to witness. Still, God Bless Huell, and I hope he did have fun parties.
Those sandwiches! I used to love those triple decker Jewish deli sandwiches. I wonder if Canters is still there. Most of the places I used to go are all gone now. And I'm gone too. I no longer live in L.A.
As Ralph Story said, You are part of "Things That Aren't Here Anymore" in Los Angeles, do yourself a favor a keep the good memories and don't bother coming to see it now, if you care, it will break your heart.
@@flipflopsguy8868 Yeah, I know. I've lived about 100 miles outside L.A. for almost 9 years now & I drive into L.A. once in a while for some reason or another. There are a few things I still enjoy, like Olvera Street, Philippe's, the Natural History Museum & the Getty Museum, but none are quite what they used to be. And the traffic is horrendous. How do people live with that everyday? But I have so many fond memories. Gawd I had tons of fun for a good long time.
I'm with you Eddie Cantor Fanatic. I don't know why KCET doesn't let us viewers know what year the video was taken in. They could "easily" include that in their one sentence description above. GLARING omission on their part. Tons of people ask this very question on the other Huell/KCET videos throughout the various episodes shown on You Tube.
Around 19:30 Man says "we been here 3 months just missed the riots" LA riots were in May 1992. Why do American Jews vote for Democrats when dems offer nothing but hate and anti Israel?
This may have been posted in 2018, but this is episode is ANCIENT history! So funny to see Huell in his younger years, ‘shmoozing waitresses’ ...when it was well known he was gayer than all get out - with a special fetish for Marines and military types, and would host weekend-long ‘work it out’ parties at his compound in the desert!
I always found Huell to be extremely obnoxious. I get so irritated listening to him, I would yell...shut up...let them talk!!!! I think during this film in 1992, Huell found his match...Gary Canter. Gary was a great guy. I knew him from when I worked at Canter's Deli in the early 2000s for a year while attending college. During my year at Canter's, I never saw Gary talk as much as he did on this video. I very seldom saw Gary talk at all. I really hope Canter's pulls itself together and make their deli a great place to go to again.
I Love Huell Howser for his Mastery in doing his job. His voice is unique, and it's a part of him. I admire Huell's ability to mingle with all sorts of people and bring out all kinds of Fun interactions. I have learned so much about human nature from watching Huell's shows. It has magically enhanced my communication skills with people--all sorts of people!!!
It's his being "pushy" that keeps the show moving forward. If he weren't, the show would come to a dead stop much of the time. Huell is the reason the show is so great.
The older lady running the deli with the great smile is a gem, what a gem ❤
Really love Huells stuff is living on through RUclips.
miss you Huel, the baker lady was adorable and the accents ! bless them all where ever they are.
Most of them are gone now. Their spirit lives on though. Nice people.

I love Canter's ❤ the bakery and food
Dear Lord I miss the Jewish community. Love to all of you from the Diaspora. The kindest toughest old folks on the earth made Los Angeles great.
Now it's become fuckboy central with overpriced tacky nonsense all over the poor place.
Canters is the best.
Wow! Huell is asking some serious philosophical life questions here!
Russian Jewish bakery on Santa Monica and Fairfax is good.
My cousin Gary is so young here! The restaurant still looks exactly the same!!
Is that really your cousin tiff ? I drove past it awhile back and said to myself that's that famous deli where Guns n roses use to hang out !

So awesome! Thank you KCET!
We relocated to the SF Valley from the Fairfax area and go back to Cantors often. It's really a Southern California gem. Thanks for sharing Huell.
I'm amazed Huell didn't show us the bakery upstairs.
That’s an interesting cashier machine?.. amazing!
Kcet es una maravilla!!!
Loving the kvetch session at the beginning, lol.
Pastrami sammich was $6.75 in '92 and now in 2020 its about $16!!! still a great place

I Knew Both Of These Guys
Wow this was the time where huel started to question of loving LA especially just after the riots.
@2:34 "Lady here's your money back and please don't ever come back!".
8:56 Huell exposes secret underground bakery ring
Favorite place to eat 4 guns n roses members

Date on this piece ?
1992 on Fairfax Avenue And Melrose Avenue way before it became a BLM hangout 😮
From what year is this from?

It was filmed shortly after the riots ('92), but didn't air until October of '93.
Sounds like these times

What's with that do to perm
Time warp, the kid from NC is now 50............
That dude is coked OUT
Lol Huell was kinda aggro in his earlier interviews.
the first guy is sketchy AF haahaa schlemiel.
He was coke out. Huell could tell a mile away. As he smiles back at us.
Marilyn Monroe came to Canter's
Congestion, high prices and the polution. I wonder whats her opinion now.
any one want a line all of the sudden
Guy running the place was coked up
Soon all those very nice lady's will be replaced by hard working Mexicans🇺🇸😁✌

Whats with the Fairfax obsession the guy doesn't care about it its obvious he had no info about it but let's keep asking lol
try to look your best, Huel

Looks like Henry Hill has been eating way too many pastramis.
