Ok, the Harvey gauntlet was the harrasment that Goff the Younger dished out. I never experienced it myself. I only frequented the Wynnewood location, during the early sixties. My informant, a high school classmate who worked there at that time indicated that Goff the Elder was a really nice guy. Wonder why he didn't can his evidently not nice at all son?
What about the fried pies. They are on the menu at the web site for the HIllcrest location, but I simply do not remember Goff's serving fried pies back in the day. Did they? I mean in the fifties and sixties.
What about the other locations that you mentioned. The web site has a link for locations, but only the one is listed.
