This ‘70s clip shows one restaurant, The Joy of Cooking, operating during lunch and, later, being converted into another restaurant, Ethel's, for dinner.
As background, both restaurants--The Joy of Cooking and Ethel's--were located in the same space in Sausalito, California, and both appear to have been temporary dining establishments, i.e. pop-up restaurants. The Joy of Cooking was open during the day for a quick bite to eat; Ethel's was open during the late afternoon and evening for a fine-dining experience.
The clip begins with people sitting in a dining area. Some people appear to be waiting for their food.
A line of people stand at the deli counter, placing orders and looking at the menu that is on the wall behind the counter.
A person places a “CLOSED” sign in a door window.
A group of people are finishing their meals and talking.
One man eats a sandwich alone.
Outside the restaurant, a sign reads “ETHEL’S RESTAURANT and Joy of Cooking.”
A young woman collects salt and pepper shakers from each table in the dining area and places them on a tray. Another woman, wearing a black apron, collects the plates and utensils that were left by patrons at a dining table.
Two men stack the chairs from the dining tables onto the tops of the dining tables.
One male patron with glasses is eating his meal, about to sip a drink. He glares at the camera.
A woman behind the serving counter puts plastic wrap on containers of food.
Two men install a curtain between the dining area and the deli counter. One of the men also covers the deli’s signage with another curtain and then folds the ladder he was standing on.
A sign, perhaps a menu, is removed from the restaurant’s window.
A man wipes the window of the restaurant from the outside. It looks as if he is waving at the camera, but he is merely spraying and wiping the window with a rag.
Two men place table cloths over the dining tables. They also set the tables with napkins, silverware, and wine-like glasses.
Lastly, a hand lights a red candle.
