Description: Remembering Gino's Hamburgers. Gino's Hamburgers was a fast-food restaurant chain founded in Baltimore, Maryland by Baltimore Colts defensive end Gino Marchetti and running back Alan Ameche, along with their close friends Joe Campanella and Louis Fischer, in 1957. The chain had 359 company-owned locations when the Marriott Corporation acquired it in 1982. The restaurant was known for hamburgers such as the Sirloiner, which was made from sirloin steak, the Jumbo Gino, which was very similar to the Whopper and the Gino Giant, which predated and later competed with the Big Mac. The company's jingle, played during radio advertisements in the early years was "Everybody goes to Gino's, 'cause Gino's is the place to go!"
