Ameche's Drive-in
Ameche's Drive-in was a fast-food restaurant chain based in Baltimore, Maryland, founded by Heisman Trophy winner and Baltimore Colts running back Alan Ameche. Ameche's had five locations. All were located in Baltimore or the Baltimore suburbs:
- Governor Ritchie Highway and 5th Avenue, Glen Burnie
- 5800 Reistertown Road, Baltimore City
- Loch Raven Boulevard and Taylor Avenue
- 7700 Wise Avenue, Dundalk
- York Road and Timonium Road, Timonium
The restaurants were known for "no charge" carry out service, "Powerhouse" hamburgers ("A banquet on a bun"), and "Cheerleader" sandwiches (hot ham and Swiss cheese with mustard). The company trademark was a Big Boy-like football player (#35) running through the uprights carrying a hamburger. The company slogan was "Meetcha at Ameche's!" Ameche's restaurants were informally known by many teenaged patrons as "UM-cheez."
