Historic Menus/A Giveaway

BY Kevin Lee Jacobs | September 5, 2012 213 Comments

Last updated on September 10th, 2012

WHEN I RECENTLY DISCOVERED the vintage menus for sale at Cool Culinaria, I realized I’d have to purchase one, frame it appropriately, and then display it in my dining room. I settled on the menu above —  Thanksgiving Dinner  at the Windsor Hotel in St. Paul, Minnesota,  1883.  Of course, I purchased a menu for one of you, too. And there are nearly 50 menus for you to choose from. Who’d like a chance to win one of these unique historical documents in a random drawing?

Cool Culinaria is the brain-child of Charles Baum and Barbara McMahon. Charles is an artist, a photographer, and a former restaurateur. He is passionate about all things beverage- and culinary-related, just as I am. Barbara is a “menu maniac” who has been unearthing historical menus that date back to the 19th century.

Here are just some of the menus that Charles and Barbara have collected and digitally reproduced as fine,  13- x 19-inch prints on 130lb paper. Each print is accompanied by an equally-fine, 11- x 17-inch copy of the interior menu. Descriptions below are quoted  from Cool Culinaria’s website:

The Oyster Loaf – San Francisco, 1940s. The oyster loaf — a thick chunk of crusty bread hollowed out and stuffed with fried oysters — is an important part of San Francisco’s dining history. The story goes that in the early years of the city’s history, judges, senators and aristocrats would drink cocktails and then buy an oyster loaf as a peace offering before heading to Nob Hill and home. This menu cover was created by the celebrated illustrator, author and art instructor Andrew Loomis, and shows a voluptious, brunette mermaid riding a lobster side-saddle.

Pullman Buffet Menu & Wine List – 1900s. This beautiful menu cover harks back to the days of luxury train travel across the United States. After spending an uncomfortable night sleeping upright during a train journey, George Pullman was convinced passengers would pay for better amenities and he established his company in Chicago in 1867. Passengers could rest in sleeping cars and eat in dining cars decorated with chandeliers and leather seating as trains sped from city to city. Freshly prepared meals were served by uniformed waiters. (Kevin’s note:  Are you listening, Amtrak?)

The Brown Derby, Hollywood 1948.  The Brown Derby, located at 1648 North Vine Street, was the second Brown Derby to open but quickly became the most famous and THE place to see and be seen due to its proximity to the major film studios. It opened on Valentine’s Day in 1929. The restaurant was the preferred hang-out for gossip columnists (they and the movie executives loved the innovation of table-side phones).  (Kevin’s note: Anyone remember the famous scene from “I Love Lucy” where star-struck Lucy Ricardo encountered William Holden at The Brown Derby?)

Now, you don’t have to choose one of the menus pictured above. Stop by Cool Culinaria’s website, and select a menu from their fine prints category. I can tell you that each menu is a work of art, as well as a glimpse into the eating habits of people during the late 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. (Above, Waddle’s Drive-In, Portland, Oregon 1949.)

For a chance to win one of Cool Culinaria’s extremely cool menus (un-framed),  do these 2 simple things:

1. Subscribe (if you haven’t already) to my weekly email newsletter.

2. Leave a comment, saying anything you’d like. Feeling shy?  Tell me how often you dine out.

Not required, but appreciated: Click the Facebook “like” button below.

Enter soon! This random drawing expires on Wednesday, September 12, 2012, at 11:59PM EST.  As always, I’ll use the nifty number gadget at Random (dot) org to select a winner. The winner will be notified by email.

Oh – just to be clear, the winner will be able to choose ANY menu from Cool Culinaria’s fine prints. You can see all of the menus here.

    What an amazing find! I love the one you chose for your dining room. Interesting that they called the main dishes “removes”, echoes to a bygone era.

    I have been collecting menus for years during my travels, finding them to be wonderful, easy to pack souvenirs. I framed them and put them up in my kitchen where they were much admired until I moved to a new house. They are buried somewhere in boxes. This inspires me to dig them out! Love these classic ones. Hope I win the drawing – it would be great to add to my collection!

    WOW I love these! My hobby is researching and recreating vintage recipes. What a cool idea to use a vintage menu for a holiday feast! If I won a menu, I’d frame it and hang it in my kitchen with pride-and look up all the recipes to try and recreate the food. Great giveaway! Angela

    Ooh these are really nice! I’ve always loved the idea of framing old fruit crate labels. But it never occurred to me that antique menus would be so decorative.

    Now I’m going to add yet another thing to my decorating wishlist.
    Thanks, Kevin! Every few days you give me another enriching idea or recipe or hint.

    I collect cookbooks, and I especially love early American cookbooks and old, regional small-town recipe collections compiled to raise funds for local churches and other charitable groups. These old menus are wonderful! It would be so fun to have one from a long ago restaurant in New England where I grew up; maybe Boston’s Union Oyster House from the 1800’s?! This is a wonderful idea, Kevin! I so much enjoy your site.

    Old menus are interesting indeed. the Pullman one is interesting as I just read a book about Pullman and my father in law used to work for them. Designing special cars for shipments.

    Donna B. says

    September 6, 2012 at 10:33 am

    The Mucha-inspired cover for the Pullman buffet is just GORGEOUS. I’m now perusing their site looking for something for myself… hee hee!
    It’s funny that you post this, because maybe a week ago I was telling someone about a local BBQ place [called “Hot Rods BBQ”] that I goto actually has it’s menu for sale! The cover is illustrated by a hot rod ethusiast & comic book illustrator. He was also a former instructor of mine when I attended J. Kubert’s comic book & graphic arts school! 😀

    “Women served at tables only.”

    That’s a thought provoking notation, is it not? Particularly in light of what’s happening in our current political landscape.

    But this is not the place for politics, i know, so i shall keep my ruminations to my little old feminine self!

    I like the kitchen plantation one, I think it is the colors.
    I have 6 menus from 1948 from the Royal Hawaiian . Quite an impressive menu of available food for $5.50 plus tax. Every thing on the menu’s is also healthy !
    These menus were left in a home my husband had purchased about 40 years ago prior to our marriage, He said he had kept them because he thought they were cool. I had never thought to frame and use them to decorate, but I still have them tucked away.

    My parents ran small neighborhood restaurants in which my brother sister and I helped out. One of the tasks, back in the day, was to type the daily menus. This was before copiers, so we worked with carbon paper – who remembers carbon paper?? Having one of these printed menus in my kitchen or dining room would be a reminder of the clack clack clack of the old typewriter, my father at the steam table, and me sorting the silverwear.

    Hello!
    My husband and I are working to restore an old hotel in northern Minnesota with the building’s owner, who lives in Callifornia!
    It was built in 1913 and did have both a buffet/family dining area as well as a very formal dining area.
    In some of the demolition work my husband found 2 different menus and a cookbook that had been used here!
    The first completed project in the building is located in what was the formal dining area. It is now being used as an ‘event’ room for people to rent for private parties/get togethers.
    It has been a BLAST so far, and we are eagerly moving forward on this project.
    Since we are from Minnesota I think it’s very cool that you selected the St Paul menu for your home!!
    One of these old menus would look fantastic on display in this building next to the originals from here!! So fingers crossed I get drawn!!

    I collect “vintage” recipe books – the kind that churches and other organizations put together to raise funds. They are sooooo much fun and some of the recipes are just scary! A vintage menu collection would be a nice addition, don’t you think? Thanks for your blog Kevin, I so enjoy it.

    I didn’t grow up in America, like the rest of the world of my time, I grew up with those fabulous old movies which featured places like the Derby. One of these menu’s would be just a beautiful addition to my home and a brilliant reminder of happier and simpler times.

    I made 4 of your tomato pies with homegrown tomatoes this month. (Hubby and son didn’t really appreciate them, so I think I ate most of them).

    Cooks and eating out are tradition in my family. My grandmother cooked in a TB sanatorium in the 1930s and recommended my father as a cook in an insane asylum (as they were called in those days) during those same depression years. My mother cooked in a commercial kitchen before cooking in a school cafeteria. Both my older brothers owned bistros; one called Banana Jack’s in Sint Maarten (Carribbean) and the other Oliver, a Bistro in Bordentown NJ. My first serious job in high school was in a luncheonette. I still collect menus. Not sure why, but I do.

    Husband and I are both in our 80s living the homestead life … i.e. gardening, preserving, making our own power, etc. … so we eat out very seldom. Also, not too many fine dining places out here in the rural mountains. And “AMEN” to the Amtrak hint !!!

Her name is Patricia Yerian and she sent a comment about redecorating her home and having a thing for paris ( which she does) I hope she wins the menu. She wants that menu sooo bad. Of course, I prefer Italian. or German. My husband, who now has alzheimers, was an executive chef. Any menu would be a tribute to his skills. can’t wait to read my first newsletter. , nancy

    Seeing those menus makes you want to go back in time and actually visit the restaurant (any one of the menus would do). What a wonderful and creative idea for the menus. Used to do a whole lot of “scouting around” for things just like this, but not to much anymore. Lucky you to find these! I’m subscribed to your newsletter and have enjoyed every one. I live in Texas and it’s been a bumper crop year for Okra (my all time favorite vegetable: steamed, of course. None of that tomato sauce stuff for me).

    Great collection of vintage menus. Waddles brought back memories of those classic drive-in’s and the icy mug of Root Beer that awaited me. One place in particular in Dallas was The Pig Stand. I was a hot dog eater and they made the best – 2 dogs, grilled, cut in half and put on hamburger bun. I Still make them that way when we grill today.

    I love hanging serendipitous finds. Last winter I bought 6 stiff wood place mats, the kind often decorated with hunt scenes, only these had with Audubon-like bird prints on them instead. They were in a box of trays and knickknacks that cost $7.00. I matted, framed, and hung them over a long bench in our hallway, and they look beautiful, often garnering compliments from people visiting.

    Thanks for a great idea. I had not thought of framing an old menu. Seeing this reminded me that I have the at sea farewell dinner menu from March 15, 1959 when my family and I traveled to my dad’s new assignment in Germany. I plan to display it for a special family dinner. I can’t believe my mom kept it with my scrapbook memories all these years. It’s not beautiful like the ones you posted, but a treasure just the same. My menu even includes a baby food selection: Pablum, Peas, and Pears. I guess they were into alliteration.

    A vintage menu, especially one from the south would be an interesting addition displayed along with the vintage photo of my great-grandfather (dated 1880) who was taken to Louisiana from Georgia as a slave. The census of that time reported “first family”, meaning the first time a cenus report was taken on my family, since prior to that time Black Families not being free, were not included in the census reports.

    His sur-name, my mother’s maiden name, was adopted from the slave owner whose family decendents still lives in my home community.

    Love your website, so many good and practical tips and recipes. We dine out about 3 or 4 times a month, love going to odd and out of the way places rather than the norm.

    I’m enjoying both the cooking side of your web site as well as the gardening side.
    It’s nice that the two are so well paired.
    Wow, the old menus are beautiful.

    What a wonderful find!!

    OK, here’s a question for you. Ya know how everyone who plants zucchini has bushels to give away all summer? Not me. I can’t grow zucchini. I may get one or two squashes if I pay attention and hand pollinate (!) but otherwise, nothing. Cucumbers do just fine. Any ideas?

    Love historic ephemera! Old photos are a favorite, too.
    Whether I win in the drawing or not, it is sure to be a great day. My grandson turns 11 tomorrow which, if you are counting, makes his birthday one day after the 9/11 attacks. So…as terrible as that time was, our family was given a blessing in a healthy baby boy!

    When I saw your menu offer, I just had to comment: Were you aware that the NY Public Library had a menu project? http://menus.nypl.org/ I helped out for a while, because these items are so fascinating. I’d love to own one myself! Thanks for the opportunity to try!

    i would like to buy one of these for my sister. I never know what to buy her and I think she’d appreciate one of these. Our Great Aunt and Uncle owned a restaurant in chester, NJ called the Larison’s turkey Farm. My sister worked there and I remeber seeing the baby turkeys when I was little.

    I kept reading until I found that you were getting these from a business … I didn’t see how you could possibly let them go if you had picked them up yourself somewhere … whewww

    The Most Historic place I have eaten was at ‘Mrs.K’s Toll House’ down by DC, in Silver Spring … loved every minute of it. Never had much alone time in NY, so no experience there. DC is such a mix of people that the food is out of this world (along with all the Politicians’ Minds LOL).
