"Begley Jr. was involved 'from a great distance' with César Chávez and the United Farm Workers union. 'I didn't buy grapes for 30 years,' he remembers. 'I never knew if the boycott was on or off, so I wouldn't take any chances.' Then the extraordinary happened. In 1987, Begley was at Pann's Restaurant on Sepulveda Boulevard. 'I was sitting there having a bowl of oatmeal when these two dudes got out of a very, very modest car, they came into the coffee shop, and it became clear to me that one of them was César Chávez. I kept thinking, Where's the entourage one would expect from an internationally known labor leader? I went up to him, I said, 'I don't want to bother you, I just want to say hello, my name is Ed Begley. I've been adhering to the grape boycott for years now, and I just want to say if there's any way I can be of help, let me know.'" Morris, Steven Leigh (2003-03-20).

"Pann's (Los Angeles): 6710 La Tijera Blvd. Go there for breakfast any time of the day, but the menu has everything. This is the real deal since 1958 and the Fifties design is eye-opening. Several films and TV shows have been filmed here. The biscuits are memorable, but go hungry and order everything you can on the breakfast menu. I have the t-shirt." Chere, Rich (2009-02-02).
