I grew up on those ads.... I also recall that when Eddie Antar was on the run from several criminal indictments, cops were regularly tipped off to 'his' whereabouts, but arrived to find that it wasn't Eddie Antar but the Actor (forget his name) who was well known for those (then groundbreaking) TV ads.

True- I used to eat at the Ground Round all the time as a kid in Toms River- think they had one of those pay by the pound gimmicks. Also they had ice cream sundaes in Yankee helmets. |
