I have about 100 going back to the 40's, restaurants owned by actors, politicians, or sports figures. Just about every sports figure at one time or another tried the restaurant business. If anyone has any to sell or give away, please contact me at jackhoffman1@optonline.net. Thanks. I collect menus (old and new) from restaurants that were owned by celebrities.

Many are from airlines (when they used to serve meals), and at least one is from a famous NY restaurant which is no more- Club 21. Also, a 12 X 17" Linen bound menu from Begues (the Royal Sonesta Hotel in New Orleans. I would like to sell this large collection as a whole. Interior decorators or restauranteurs might be interested. The collection is really quite exciting and eclectic. - Edgar I, too have a large menu collection (about 900) from all over the world, including one from Casablanca.

I had received information that they had used large plastic penny's to print the menu on with the logo "In our food you can trust". Any information, even a picture, would be greatly appreciated!

I have absolutely no idea; I don't actively collect menus. But I do collect unique hits to this site; thanks for visiting!

The collection has The Brown Dirby, El Trovar(Grand Canyon), "21" and many other locations. Last count of the collection was in the 600 item range inclusive of hard original and about 60 paper to go menus. I wanted to cover a wall with them but it is a project that is never going to get done. I wish to move this collection on to someone that has a real interest in same. How does one value a collection and do you think I should make a list of what is in the collection? I also have about 1000 bussiness cards from resteraunts and food and beverage supplyers from all over the USofA. Any info you could share I would be greatful for. Thanks for sharing your site.

We went to all the performances we could and got to know them on a first name bases, Donna invited them to her home for dinner and to our amazement they accepted. Of course Donnas mom went crazy trying to think of what to make for dinner. A few days before, they sent their regrets and canceled dinner. Wow! was Donnas mom relived. They invited us to the Empire Room at the Palmer House in Chicago, as there guests. We were so excited to be invited to such a grand place. I have that menu signed by Johnny, Rudi and Ray. Would anyone be interested in buying this menu? I also have several other menus from the Chicago Land area. Hello: As a young girl my friend Donna and I were fans of the group called The Crew Cuts.
