This ‘70s clip shows two restaurants, The Joy of Cooking and Ethel’s. Both 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.

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.
