A Celebration of Home, Kentucky, Sports, Music, and Other Passions
Oh, this is a perfect MIDI ... I'm pretty certain I read one time that Billy Corgan was a yearbook kid like we were.
This is obviously the zenith of our podcast's history thus far. Here's a commercial for Sambo's that apparently aired in Chicago."Pleasing You Pleases Us," "Good for a Cup of Coffee" and "Anytime-Anywhere" are all excellent mottos for the "Paducah, Ken." store.The Paducah Sambo's was reportedly at 2150 Irvin Cobb Drive. I think it might've been this old restaurant in front of the current-day Royal Inn.
Burger Chef was reportedly Paducah's first fast-food restaurant. It was at 901 Kentucky Avenue.
The former Mr. J's.
In 1958, two Texas brothers opened the first Pizza Inn across from the Southern Methodist University campus in Dallas. As word spread of the restaurant’s exceptional pizza and friendly service, so did Pizza Inn locations across the Heartland. From 1960-1990, taste buds across the southeastern and southwestern U.S. were able to experience first-hand the made-from-scratch crispy, crackery Original Thin crust, and tangy signature sauce that are still hallmarks of the Pizza Inn brand today. For more than 60 years, Pizza Inn has prided ourselves on freshness and innovation, introducing the Taco Pizza in 1979, the first dessert “Pizzert” pizza in 1986 and the chain’s hallmark Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza by the 1990s. We’re still cooking up fresh ideas to this day and are committed to bringing our best pizza to the table, every time.
Paducah's old Holiday Inn.
Fantastic.
