'Saved By The Bell' Pop-Up Diner Announces L.A. Location (In A Mall, Obviously)
Good news, Bayside High fans; Saved By The Max, the Saved By The Bell-themed pop-up diner that took Chicago by storm last year, has finally revealed its Los Angeles location.
No less an authority than Principal Belding himself took to Youtube on Tuesday to announce Saved By The Max's L.A. whereabouts. (Way to pivot to video, Principal B!) The pop-up diner will be at the West Hollywood Gateway at 7100 Santa Monica Boulevard, which feels all too appropriate if you remember season 3, episode 16 of Saved By The Bell, titled "All In The Mall." No? Just me? Cool.
Soon, visitors to Saved By The Max will be able to dine on a veritable feast of early-'90s sitcom-inspired cuisine, including "A.C. Sliders," "Mac & Screech" and the "Kelly Kapowski Montecristo." (The lighthearted name "Mac & Screech" almost makes you forget that Dustin Diamond, a.k.a. Screech, went to jail for stabbing a guy.)
An opening date has yet to be announced for Saved By The Max's West Hollywood location, but while we wait, let's all enjoy this historic video of Jessie Spano absolutely losing her mind on caffeine pills:

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
