'M*A*S*H" Hot Dog Eatery Exec Charged With Theft‎ - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 12-27-2011, 12:40 AM

The grandson of the founder of an Ohio hot dog diner has been charged with stealing more than $100,000 from the family business. The charges stem from a yearlong family battle over control of Tony Packo’s, a restaurant chain whose hot dog sauce and pickles are sold in stores nationwide. Tony Packo III and company controller Cathleen Dooley face up to three years in prison if convicted. Tony Packo’s was made famous by M*A*S*H and actor Jamie Farr, a Toledo native. As Corporal Klinger, Farr often longed for his hometown and the taste of Tony Packo’s, the “greatest Hungarian hot dogs.” The original Packo’s location is a tourist attraction and is decorated with M*A*S*H memorabilia.

That's a shame really. I have been to the original one a couple of times, and I really liked it. The other ones around here also have a few pictures and stuff from MASH.

It's always stupid nonsense like this though that usually is the end of something good. I just hope that the family can work out their differences. A family shouldn't be split up over a business, I know it happens a lot, but it still doesn't make it right.
