Caught me off guard when he started talkin, felt like I was gonna be in trouble for not paying attention lol

This place had 8 feet of water in it during Hurricane Ike in 2008. Thankfully, they saved these old machines by moving them upstairs before the storm. Also, you can't beat this place's ice cream. It's specially made there using recipes from a local ice cream company that was around almost 100 years ago. The family that owns this shop bought the ice cream company when it went bankrupt and still makes ice cream with those recipes. The cinnamon ice cream malt is to die for. It's also like $8.

Really like how he talks everyone through it I've recently become fascinated with candy making so really enjoyed this.

Unbelievable at how well these machines work for being so old, It just proves that if you take care of things they can and will last a lifetime, Very good demonstration, this guy knows his stuff, thanks for the demonstration it was very good.

When my sister was little she forgot it was called, Salt Water Taffy. She loudly asked my mom for some Seaweed Fudge. Lol

No place on earth like La King's! Watching this brought back LOADS of childhood memories. Practically lived at the Strand back in the day. Thank you for sharing! ❤

His accuracy and speed when tossing out the samples was amazing.

Wow! That was really interesting. I have seen the hand pulled version made before, but never seen it made by the old machines. Kudos on keeping those machines in good working order.

As a Baking and Pastry student, watching people make works of candy gives me pleasure.

I remember seeing a taffy machine like that when I was a kid at the beach boardwalk in NJ. There was no big show, just a machine in the window that you could watch and then go in and buy some salt water taffy. We also had taffy pulls at home on a much smaller scale of course! Delicious fresh and still slightly warm.

It’s so cool how they use the same equipment that they used 80-100 years ago

I loved watching how the cook worked, and how he used the old machines. Thank you.

I can see the old man in the back smiling as the man threw the candy. They must have done the same back in his day when he was a kid. Good stuff. :)
