Anyone ever eat at a Rollin' Roaster? |
|
Decades ago when I worked nights and came home late after drinking with my co-workers, I would switch on the TV and watch WCBS on the cable from New York City. It was the only channel that was on all night and they showed terrific old MGM movies, punctuated by commercials for a place called Rollin' Roaster. I woke up today with the jingle playing in my head. It goes something like this:
Rollin' Roaster Rollin' Roaster Fast food with a flair. Burgers as your like 'em, Medium, well or rare.
Does this magical fast-food place with its haunting jingle still exist somewhere in the New York area? Has anyone ever eaten there? Does anyone know the complete lyrics? Should I stop putting off going to the dump today?

1. I remember those commercials! LOL. |
|
And, no, I never ate there, since I lived a long way from NYC, but I did work nights and WCBS was about the only thing on back then, that, and "Bomba, the Jungle Boy" movies and Jim Bakker, and I watched both. *sigh* But I learned that my co-workers were watching them, too...:D
And don't let this stop you from going to the dump, if you need to...;)
