really? funny, i remember him being black. hmmm...funny how the mind remembers things.

From:

well, the storybook had him black. :) but the food chain made him pink. :)

From:

I remember oh to well about eating in a "sambos" and I thought the kiddo was black as well....

I am embarrassed to say I ate there....

poor little Sambo....OMG! that sure was not that long a go....

From:

hmm... maybe I'm mistaken... but I don't think so! :)

Gotta agree with the others. I recall the mural over the galley as having a black Sambo. And a tiger. I think I was about 4 or 5 then, so the tiger is what I liked the best.

From:

How odd! I guess one of three things happend...

1. My memory is shot (quite possible!)
2. you're all trickin' me (paranoid fantasy) or
3. the one I went to tried in vain to kill the stereotyping, and was in the minority by showing their sambo as a non-black.

From:

no...I think you are right....it may be a mental thing for me....unless it was an east coast/west coast thing...???

From:

possibly! I've been on the east for the vast majority of my life.

From:

Did you think the pancakes were better back then? (I'm wondering if it was a childhood 'is better' or if something changed)

From:

yeah, yum-Mo!

MMmM... tiger-butter. Them's good eatin'!

From:

Are you sure it was Denny's?

I don't think so I thought it was Shoney's?

From:

There's still a couple of Shoney's down here. :)

Good for an all you can eat seafood buffet, these days.

From:

maybe denny's and shoneys are owned by the same master corp, and they split 'em?

From:

I'm not sure. I worked at Denny's once and got the who history/indoctrination/brainwash but my memory has gotten worse over the years but I'm thinking Sambo wasn't Denny's and I don't recall them being one ever.

From:

hmmm... possibly only the dennys in south florida/virginia were originally sambos.

From:

i'm probably confused here (as usual)

Was Denny's originally Sambo's?

From:

To the best of my knowledge, all of the Sambo's changed into Denny's. (I don't know if Denny's was around before Sambos name went away or not)
