Lunch at DreamWorks Animation Studio - Glendale

 Coming from the entertainment industry, I've been to DreamWorks Animation Studio in Glendale  a few times.    I've actually worked for a few of their executives in another life at a different entertainment company.

It was tasty tho... Thanks DreamWorks Animation! Photos by Jay Terauchi Jay Eats Worldwide  (c) Jay Terauchi
