Packo's - Maumee

Tony Packos Hungarian Hot Dogs. M.A.S.H. Jamie Farr as Corporal Max Klinger. All these terms blended together on Feb. 24, 1976 when Max famously introduced Tony Packos to the nation. In the episode that made Packos future, a man playing a television newsman talked to Klinger about his hometown. Farr wrote a little local color into his reply. The lines read, If youre ever in Toledo, Ohio, on the Hungarian side of town, Tony Packos got the greatest Hungarian hot dogs. Thirty-five cents… The Farr coup was actually the second time that good fortune, in the form of a celebrity, graced Tony Packos. In June 1972, Burt Reynolds was playing The Rainmaker at a local auditorium, and Nancy (Tony Sr.s daughter) got a notion to get him into her restaurant. I thought, well, hes got to eat somewhere. Nancy wrote a letter and took it to Reynolds hotel. About two nights later he showed up. Reynolds was the first big name to eat at Packos and sign a hot dog bun.
