What's On
What's On the Menu?.
Menus not only let you know what's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they can also be works of art, shining examples of a great design aesthetic, or just plain fun. Some of the best places to find images from old menus are in online university and library collections like the Alice Statler Collection and the University of Washinton.
One of the best collections I've come across is the Los Angeles Public Library, which has a searchable index. Here are some of my favorite L.A. restaurant menus:
Trader Vic's
Kelbo's The Hawaiian Spare Rib
Damon's
Kona Inn [Eye of the Goof]
