MORE ABOUT OUR FRZY SMILEY COOKIE™ COLABORATION BENEFITING THE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL OF PITTSBURGH FOUNDATION
Frzy, a Pittsburgh native, is an Emmy®-award winning rapper. The 35-year-old Pittsburgher grew up in East Liberty and began rapping as a high school senior. When Frzy was growing up, he frequented his neighborhood Squirrel Hill Eat’n Park, and Smiley CookiesTM were his favorite part of the experience. Frzy says that even today, if he’s going through a tough time or having a bad day, his friends know they can make him smile by sending him Smiley Cookies.
In addition to sharing our love of Smiley Cookies, Frzy also shares our passion for Pittsburgh. In 2018, Frzy won a Regional Emmy Award for his collaboration with WQED Multimedia on a remake of the iconic Mister Rogers’ song, “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” Frzy cares about being a good neighbor in Pittsburgh and has a passion for giving back to our community. His caring spirit makes us smile :). In December 2018, he was part of a sold-out concert that raised more than $60,000 to benefit the Tree of Life Synagogue. His community service includes serving as a celebrity global ambassador for WhyHunger, supporting their initiative to raise funds and awareness for lasting solutions to hunger and food injustice. Frzy was the first rapper to receive the honor of being named one of Pittsburgh’s 50 Finest in 2014, raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Last year, he broke the Guinness Book of World Record for longest freestyle rap, while raising money for the MusicCares charity.
After meeting Frzy through the YaJagoff podcast, he approached us about creating a Frzy Smiley Cookie to raise money and create smiles for our friends at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. The idea (and cookie) took shape and we decided to announce our partnership on Frzy Day, which is celebrated on January 11th in the city of Pittsburgh. 100% of the net proceeds of our limited edition Frzy Smiley Cookies sold on SmileyCookie.com benefit the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation.

One long-running tradition here at Eat’n Park is our cherished Christmas Star commercial. Every year, we are moved by the comments we hear about this classic spot. Many of you have told us that it is what gets you in the holiday spirit, and that it reminds you of what the holidays are all about. We’ve even heard that the commercial has been referenced in Christmas Eve sermons! Because it's so timeliness, it's hard to believe that it has been around for so long. And just how did this classic come to be?
It all started in early 1982. Eat’n Park was just beginning to blossom into the family restaurant chain that you’re now familiar with, and the company was prospering. Our CEO at the time, Jim Broadhurst, wanted to create a holiday card on video to thank the city of Pittsburgh for their support of Eat’n Park.
So, Jim charged Ketchum, our ad agency at the time, with creating a message that would “last for 20 years.” Easy, right? Craig Otto, then a young Art Director, and Cathy Bowen, a fledgling Copy Writer at the time, lead the project. The pair worked for 3 weeks to generate over 30 ideas, none of which were met with approval. Eventually, they hit upon the idea of an animated commercial, but they still weren’t sure where they were going with it.
One Sunday shortly thereafter, Craig decided to come into the office. He sketched out a star, a traditional holiday image, and then stopped. “How does the star get to the top of the tree?” He played around with a few ideas until deciding that, of course, the star would need some help from the tree itself. In a fateful coincidence, Cathy had also decided to come in to the office that Sunday. So, while Craig worked out the illustrations, Cathy devised a simple, yet perfect sentiment to wrap up the commercial.
Jim immediately loved the spot, and an ageless favorite was born. Even better, the commercial has outlasted his original expectations. The idea of the relationship between the tree and the star illustrates a timeless holiday lesson – by helping another, you’re helping yourself, and you’re making the world a better place.
So, from everyone here at Eat’n Park, here’s hoping that the special lift you get this holiday season lasts all year long!
