VIDEO

It's the end of an era. The last Howard Johnson's restaurant has just closed. Among the amazing things I found out while researching the subject of Howard Johnson's is that famous French chef Jaques Pépin was hired by the company to improve their menu. Pépin was slated to become a chef at the JFK White House but chose to work on the Howard Johnson's menu instead. Later Pépin co-hosted cooking shows on PBS with Julia Child. This video also reveals how Pépin rendered a CBS reporter speechless.

Between Hojo's and drivein movies kids nowadays have no idea how enjoyable this country used to be

“My college pals and I used to go in and plunder their all-you-can-eat clams on Fridays.”

That was our HoJo’s gang fav dinner on Friday night.

“They had the best hot dogs.”

Very good hotdogs maybe, Lum’s had the best (beer steamed!).

I grew up in MA so ours also had clams and clam strips. Also, I’m not sure if they had anything that wasn’t deep fried.

Great dogs, we would always beg the old man to stop
there in vacation. They were the only place that had
Mint chocolate chip ice cream in those days.

I love watching his cooking videos. He always seems very eager to eat what he cooks and I like those kind of chefs.

For those who want to know more about Julia and Paul Child’s OSS service, take a look at A Covert Affair by Jennet Conant. Very well done.

I got food poisoning at a Lum’s in 1983. Most of them had closed by then, so they must have been cleaning out the walk-in.
