One of my first jobs was working at an FBO at John Wayne Airport (SNA).
Back then, it seemed like everyone was a pilot, and we would fly everywhere we wanted to go, like just for a drink (I even invented my own at the old Elephant Bar).
One of our favorite places to go was Catalina Island, to initiate the newcomers to the Buffalo Burgers there. Personally, I found them kind of greasy tasting.
