A lot of kids had their first jobs at Sambo’s including my son Oleg. Thank you for the opportunity.
Ruth was the best, most honest businesswoman I’ve ever had the privilege to meet and work with. She was an inspiration ❤️ RIP Ruth, so glad I got to meet you!
Will the items from the restaurant go into the museum like pixie kitchens did? I remember when it was little black sambos
