Compiled by Greg Johnson, Times staff writer

Santa Claus and TV personality Ed McMahon will both be on hand in Brea this morningto celebrate the opening of Boston Chicken’s 500th restaurant. Santa and eight chickens will mark the occasion by sky-diving into a 500-gallon vat of mashed potatoes.

The new eatery is being opened by Boston Pacific, a subsidiary of CKE Restaurants, the Anaheim-based parent company of the Carl’s Jr. fast-food chain. Boston Pacific has franchise rights to develop about 300 new Boston Chicken restaurants in Southern California during the next five years.
