Hilariously bad business names...,and sharing good/bad Americana...
The original Sambo's is still in business in Santa Barbara, CA. Here's their website: http://firstsince57.com/SambosOnTheBeach/
...and no, "Sambo" wasn't black, he was Indian like the children's book story. Check it out...http://www.oldlarestaurants.com/sambos/
I remember the restaurants...used to go there as a very young kid for pancakes before IHOP was even thought of.
We had a Sambo's in my home town of Greeley Colorado.I spent a lot of time there as a kid.The building is still there to this day operating as a resturaunt called Country Inn.I understand they recently had a bad fire there and are doing everything they can to rebuild.
