“seriously, it's a big ass frying pan”
The current roadside attraction in Long Beach is actually a fiberglass recreation of the original cast iron behemoth that was used in the town's Clam Festival in 1941. As part of its initial display at the festival, a woman strapped bacon to her feet and hopped inside the pan carrying a giant spatula. After the clam celebration, the oversized oddity travelled around the West Coast, but Long Beach had a replica built to forever remember their part in its creation. The surface of the pan is over nine feet across and the tip of the handle is almost 15 feet off the ground. Strangely there are a handful of other "World's Largest Frying Pans" across America alone, putting Long Beach's culinary landmark in one of the strangest competitions for legitimacy ever cooked up.
The correct address for this attraction is the corner of pacific and se 5th. It is directly across from Marshs Free Museum. It was a cool photo op, and if you are going to Long Beach you are probably going to see Jake across the street anyway, why not check out this attraction.
Hilarious!
