My siblings and I used to have Sambo’s pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner during vacations. Yum.

I was a weekend graveyard shift cook at the Sambo’s in Meridian, Mississippi for a short while in the mid 70s. I remain pretty skilled with pancakes.

I grew up in the era when every child read this book - and I read it to my children and now read it to my grandchildren. I know she didn’t call him Sambo because Sambo was a wonderful Black child - and that ain’t BO!

Oh my God....I was at a Sambo’s one night...ahem...morning...3AM ish, and some woman was
sitting at the counter yelling, very loudly, “I’M TIRED
OF LIVIN’ ALONE”.

Needless to say, it made for a fun drunken pancake fest to watch the loonies at Sambo’s!

I used to like to eat at Sambo's in the Wilshire District of Los Angeles. The food was good and inexpensive, and the service was excellent.

The Sambo's chain was crushed by the '82 recession, but the original restaurant in Santa Barbara, Calif. remains open.
