Speaker 2 (00:10):
I was watching it.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Does now you have a kid, You're gonna understand.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I do get Last yesterday I was watching the news
and I did see Jason Adams of the Padres he
took a bunch of kids to saw that Walmart to
buy Christmas gifts and stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
It was super cool, and.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I did think, like, it is not as fun that
it's a Walmart and not a.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Toys r US.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Oh, totally, you know what I mean. But it's still
cool obviously. But I just maagine a kid and the
Toys r US.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Toys at the Walmart through the medicine aisle like Roast,
Women's Braws, Automotive Department.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Toys r US with something else. But when this happened,
this really devastated me and Emily and if probably a
lot of people out there. Supe Plantation went away. Supe
Plantation and Diego Staple loved it so much. I called
it soupy. You go to Soupy, and man, I love
super Ica so much it is so why it's just salad,
(01:10):
I don't know, you know, but you know they had
soups and they had all these other little other breads
and things like that, which is fantastic. And you just
loaded up the people when they when they would make
their plate their salad, which is go to the ceiling.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
You could go, I don't know why I get excited.
I know, I know I never stood that.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
And then like I would be frustrated because it's kind
of be following off the plate like I didn't need
to load it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Go to a buffet.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
You feel like, yeah, so you want to get you
want to like show off, but how much you can
play on your plate?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It's like a game. Well, is the type of person
that she wants to try everything, So I guarantee you
she'd probably pour herself as a whole thing of soup,
take a bout of it and go I don't like that,
and then go get another one. It's okay, It's okay
for me.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
That's part of it.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Oh yeah, And we all did it in our own way,
like everybody had their own little.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Things that they loved.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
They would sit down first course, you get up and
do the second course.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Everything does different.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Well, Supplantation died of COVID. It really did, it really did.
You can't have buffets if you have a pandemic going around,
and so they closed their doors and that's what happened.
But you thought at some point it's got to come back, right.
People love Supplantation. I can't tell you how many times
I'd go there and there'd be lines out the door,
(02:30):
and you know, what the hell is going on? And
so super Plantation was was my spot, man, it was
my jam. I miss it. I miss it so much,
nobody more than more than anything anything. Wow, more than
my my dead grandparents, I miss them, but I missed
sup Plantation more. Obviously. The garlic cutons stop it.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Eddie oddly thinks about like six or seven guys every
day oddly and pours forty out for like Biggie, Alex Trebek,
Eddie Van Hull and Stanley Stanley len Goodman's crew of
missing someone I forgot who I forgot?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I'm very emotional.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, he's very is supe Plantation the only non human
that you think about?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I do. I pour some ranch out every day, not
a forty A little bit. Wow.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Hopefully it's bottle branch, not not the good stuff.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
They used to have the good stuff the ranch.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, but you can't get their good stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I know. It makes me sad. I know that's true,
so very sad. When supe Plantation went away, was hoping
there was a rumor, like I don't know a few
years ago, yeah, that there was going to be one
my sue plantation, the one that I actually go to,
was going to be coming back, and we're like, what
what is going on? And then no, it wasn't. It
(03:52):
was Bayton Switch.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Some dude was opening like a senior center where they
were going to like serve salad, and then he was
trying to and it was like a sup plantation never happened.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That was bs.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
But now some up something going on here, because I
got informed about this yesterday. A bunch of p one
sent me emails and I went, wait a minute, this
can't be. And now apparently this is starting to make
the rounds. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Now, a soup plantation at their height had one hundred locations,
but at its right COVID killed it. They all closed down.
And you may not know, the parent company of soup
Plantation is actually called Sweet Tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah, on the little card where you say I'll be
right back or I'm done that you have to flip
h when you leave the thing. I think it says
sweet tomatoes on it. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Yeah, so that's like their parent company, right. And another
fun fact, I don't know if you guys realized, the
first ever sup Plantation location was here in San Diego
off Mission Gorge, Mission Gorge, nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Smaller, it was a smaller location.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I've never been to that one.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, cross street from the You have sombreros right there, Yeah,
I have.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Now, really that's sad.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
That makes me sound.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I love salad, I do, I do, but this is
a newer thing with the salad my wife.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
So back then you were just not healthy. Yeah, okay,
but it's not by the way super plantation. Hey, I
know it's salad, but the way people load that thing
up their bacon bits and cheese and pizza, that's honestly.
And then don't even give me a started on the saft, serf, bro,
(05:32):
it's as good as a goads. And then sometimes sometimes
sometimes they would have like these hot like like lava
cake things. Yeah, remember you get a whole scoop of
that and you put some saucerve on that cobbler. They'd
have a cobbler.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, do all you can buffet food or just.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
There's a pasta station, there's a baked potato station, there's
chili ste Their bread they're whipped like for Gosha.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You guys need gosha. Yeah you did?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
You try to whipped honey butter that they.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Did offer the corn bread? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Stop good, you guys.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I used to go to the sports arena location. No,
I mean this is when I grew up, growing up.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
All the time. After softball games.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Me and my boy b Dub used to hit up
soupy like one over here. That guy it was like
a volcato salad.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
We know he wasn't eating the salad, well he would
but on it pretty much.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
And fun fact, because we were talking about how COVID
killed buffets, well it turns out that inflation and our
economy has brought buffets back and the popularity because people
want that value.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Yes, so, uh, San.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Diego took notice when Sweet Tomatoes the other day did
a post on their Instagram and it's a picture of
a wizard standing there and this is what it says
a whisper on the wind, A spell long cast. I
once stood proud where the ocean waves meet sand, serving
(07:18):
salads and soups with a wave of my hand. I've
been away, but magic stirs anew? Where could I return?
Can you guess the view?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
My god? What mean?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
You're coming back? Please? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
What what is Jeff Probe's doing this? Yeah, that's ridiculous?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Dig by the water?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Well, yeah, we're going to get the immunity. I don't
soix please.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
So it turns out people have been digging into it,
and it looks like Sweet Tomato Slash Soup Plantation just
opened a location all of them closed in COVID in.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Tucson, and dude, they said, there's.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Like an hour long lines out the door when this
bad boy opened because people astor.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Yeah, so you're going to invest.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
In a soup plantation if there's one gets opened here
in San Diego?
Speaker 7 (08:28):
I would who cares? Nobody cares anymore? Coff in my
mouth as long as I get that.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
In your mouth.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
I guess they've taken out a permit for a location
in Florida, and now people want to know what is
going on with San Diego I know what they're thinking.
This is the next one. So people are like going
through city records looking for permits to try and like you're.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Doing listen, I gotta have it. I gotta have ital No,
not like this baby, not like this baby. Did you
hear garlic crewtons? They have regular and garlic. Why would
you ever go regular?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
