Over the years, the Knife & Fork became a favorite of local politicians, wealthy vacationers, and Hollywood celebrities including Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and Vic Damone. Their sons Mack, a decorated war hero, and Jim, an accomplished runner, then took over and redefined the business through the post war decades, surviving the advent of gambling in Atlantic City. Milton and Evelyn successfully managed the Knife and Fork until Milton died in 1948.
