He said he was glad to be getting out.
As for me I still remember the pancake stacks at “Sambo’s” Restaurants in the mid 70’s. The P.C’s took them out before P.C. It was California based also.
The owners say the "Sambo's" name was a combination of owners names, Sam Battistone Sr. and Newell "Bo" Bohnett.
Also:
The story of "Sambo" featured an Indian boy, in the book Little Black Sambo. The work has been interpreted by many as offensive to Blacks. Even though the restaurant's name was not derived from the book, characters from it were used in promotional materials across the chain in prior decades.

When I was a child in San Diego in the 1960's, they had a Sambos near Old Town. I loved going there for the hotcakes and to see the story of Sambo and the tiger painted around the upper wall of the dining room and on the children's menu. The boy depicted in the drawings was definitely an Indian character, turban and all (and, of course, there are no tigers in Africa).
