(2) (Phil's Pink Elephant) Where Alan Freedman, author of this encyclopedia, first went to work. In 1955, at the age of 13 (pretending to be 16), he was a short order cook and curb boy for this fast food drive-in restaurant in Harrisburg, PA. In 1955, Phil's Pink Elephant was the first drive-in in the country to offer a 15 cent hamburger (Freedman's mother gave Phil the idea). The 15 cent hamburger was very popular, but the place folded a year later. See About this encyclopedia.
