Anybody remember a Dennys - like
restaurant chain called Sambo’s?
I remember them in California. Man,
were they politically incorrect!

Sambo’s?
There was one in our small town in the 70's - I don't know why the knee grows hate that book. It's about a kid from India, for cripes sake.

According to Wiki, there were over 1000 Sambos in 47 states.

The name came from the founders Sam Battistone, Sr. and Newell Bohnett

But Political Correctness in the NE destroyed the name in the 70's.

Only one left in Santa Barbara

Denny’s was Sambos. They changed the name.
Why can’t some people learn how to hold a phone to get full screen picts and vids?

I remember Sambo’s. They had paintings for kids across the walls. It was like the restaurant version of “The Jungle Book,” but focused on breakfast.

There is one left:

And you are right—they were bankrupted partly due to political correctness.
