“Incidentally, if you’re ever in Toledo, Ohio, on the Hungarian side of town, Tony Packo’s, greatest Hungarian hot dogs, with chili peppers, 35 cents, and a cold beer!”

– Corporal Max Klinger in “The Interview.”

Jeff & Ryan welcome Tony Packo’s official historian, Jim Beard, to MASH Matters. Jim is the curator of the new Tony Packo’s Museum Tour at the original location in Toledo. We discuss Packo’s history, Jamie Farr’s impact, the restaurant’s relationship with M*A*S*H, how the museum came to be, and whether Creamed Weenies will ever be on the menu.
