My teenagers can’t get a ticket to the Running Man remake on their own, but sure, they’re consenting adults when it comes to sex. There’s not enough pepper spray in the world for these creeps

Let’s go back to basics with a Sunday outing to a Walgreen (no S) luncheonette. Just comfort foods and fountain delights. PSA: Pineapple and cottage cheese salad is in no way Hawaiian. Mahalo 🤙🏼 Walgreen Drug Store Chicago, 1938 #VintageMenus

This is an example of “just because you can doesn’t mean you should” #VintageFood

This joint looks really good. I have questions about “Honeyed Grapefruit (Hot)” but I’d eat here. The chef claims to have prepared meals for both Kings George V and Edward VIII which probably explains why they offer afternoon tea. Sky Diner Vancouver, BC 1940s #VintageMenus

Soup soup soup soup soup Do they even make soup bowls for a 7 ounce serving that doesn’t make it look like a stingy portion? And why 7 ounces? Is a whole cup gonna weigh you down? #VintageFood #VintageMenus

Whoever put me on their Starter Pack thanks! It’s fun making new friends 👋

Now this is a proper diner mid-century diner menu. It’s got pretty much everything including abalone before it was on the brink of extinction. It’s nice to see Santa Barbara before it got bougie. No notes Blue Onion Cafe and Drive-In Santa Barbara, CA 1950s #VintageMenus

My grandpa was an engineer at Armour in the 50s and 60s. We had dented cases of all of these fine products when I was a kid but we just ate them like normal people and didn’t try to elevate them above their humble station #VintageFood

White Cafe is not a euphemism. Arizona was SUPER restricted back in the day and the racism was loud and proud. They used a bullhorn, not a dog whistle. But hey, air conditioning 🤷🏼‍♀️ White Cafe Prescott, AZ 1930s #VintageMenus

The best thing about this Super Supper Salad Loaf is that it only uses a few ration points. That might be its only redeeming feature. I’m not even sure how you’re supposed to eat it but it feeds 6 so #VForVictory and #AxeTheAxis #VintageFood

Weren’t #Macau and #PassageToMarseilles just on a couple of days ago? Programmers are stuck in a loop #TCMParty

Well this is fun. I’ve never seen a US Senate menu before. It’s nothing fancy, basically diner fare but with fancy appetizers. Imagine JFK and LBJ chatting over a bowl of bean soup while Joe McCarthy is looking for commies in the kitchen US Senate Restaurant Washington, DC 1957 #VintageMenus

Fine Foods by Jules was in the Wilshire Center on the Miracle Mile. I can’t find any information about it, but it’s definitely got upscale deli vibes with a HUGE selection of sandwiches with Hollywood flair. Who wants to bite into Red Skelton? Fine Foods by Jules Los Angeles 1940s #VintageMenus

This is not a kiddie menu but what in the Jack Skellington are those floating heads? It’s a nice mid-century menu and I like that it’s open 24/7. Just don’t stare directly at the creepy heads Kerry’s Junior Santa Barbara, CA 1950s #VintageMenus

Here for #BlindSpot because I slept through the first showing #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Technically, Greer Garson at age 36 is old enough to be all of the girls’ mother #TCMParty #PrideAndPrejudice

This is a really nice mid-century menu with reasonably priced food, although the management is kinda whiny about paying its workers a living wage Case Coffee Shop Los Angeles 1950 #VintageMenus

The 50s were so weird

Okay, gang, it’s 1947 and we scored tickets to be in the audience for The Bickersons at CBS radio and according to Hedda Hopper, Don Ameche always has dinner at the Brown Derby after the show, so we are too! What are we having? #VintageMenus #TCMParty

I have nothing personal against the Mouse but these prices are ridiculous for children’s portions in 1980. I guess if you can afford to stay at the Disneyland Hotel you can afford a $5 shrimp plate. No idea about sides and beverages Disneyland Hotel, Anaheim, 1980 #VintageMenus

I’m craving Froot Loops for some reason #BeauGeste #TCMParty

Great Northern Railway was founded in 1889 and ran from St Paul to Seattle and was constantly profitable, apparently for their allegiance to Baphomet. Whatever the reason, this is a good kiddie menu with tasty dishes. I’m surprised there’s no Baby Soup here Great Northern Rwy 1940s #VintageMenus

What kid wouldn’t want a souvenir menu mask of…I’m gonna say Ward Bond and brown face Anne Francis? Again with the names that make no sense and prices in coins but the food looks tasty enough (only one mashed potato entree) Fred Harvey Restaurants Illinois Tollway 1960s #VintageMenus

This kiddie menu has everything! Creepy pig mask? Check! Mashed potatoes? Check! Creamed chicken? Check! Pig ‘n Whistle 1940 Los Angeles

The Bob’s Big Boy founder was big into franchising and only the corporate restaurants could use Bob’s name. This is a Shoney’s Big Boy and I’m pretty sure that’s a kiddie menu garotte. The food looks good, though, and I do love strawberry pie Shoney’s Big Boy 1950s Location unknown #VintageMenus

Macy’s clearly hates children. Between the Stephen King clown mask and the naming of the dishes this is downright traumatic. “Mommy, I’m scared!” “Hush, Sally, and eat your Poodle” Macy’s circa 1960 #VintageMenus

Let’s goooo!!! #BeatLA

This kiddie menu mask has a strong Charley Weaver vibe with a touch of Foster Brooks. This menu also has some decent looking options for the kiddies, managing to avoid the dreaded creamed chicken and mashed potatoes so prevalent back in the day Pappy’s Santa Maria, CA 1966 #VintageMenus

Let’s goooo Toronto! #BeatLA

Halloween 1991… the year the one on the left spread chicken pox throughout the neighborhood! Now THAT’S a trick (No, I didn’t know he was sick at the time)

Okay, gang, it’s 1940 and The Invisible Man Returns is filming at Universal. Vincent Price is the NICEST guy and invited us for lunch at the studio commissary so what are we having? (Sorry it’s a little fuzzy) #TCMParty #VintageMenus #HappyHalloween

Joan looks like a zombie named Consuela #BabyJane #TCMParty

Hey, kids! How do you want your mashed potatoes? With creamed chicken? A lamb chop? Soup? It’s a mashed potato bonanza! Once again we wonder where they source the babies for the Baby Soup? Factory farmed or free range? Union Pacific Kaibab Line Grand Canyon, circa 1940 #VintageMenus

I LOVE this craptastic masterpiece! I read that Michael Caine took the job because he wanted to buy his mom a beach house. A true paycheck picture! #TCMParty #TheSwarm

This is an actual fun kiddie menu mask that’s appropriate for the restaurant! And the options look really yummy! What are the chances? Ivar’s Deep Sea Divers Seattle, WA 1960s #VintageMenus

Let’s gooooo!!! #BeatLA

Good prices, friendly service…what’s the catch? There isn’t even anything weird on the menu. Surely it’s not…a perfect place? My only gripe is most everything is a la carte Huntington Park, CA Circa 1940 #VintageMenus

Let’s goooo #BeatLA

I’d never heard of Childs’ restaurants but apparently they were a very big deal, with 125 locations across America and Canada. There’s no Moon Over MyHammy but they’d really appreciate it if you joined the Naval Reserve Location unknown, 1942 #VintageMenus

If you’re feeling nostalgic, let’s venture back to when unaccompanied ladies dining in public were subjected to the unwanted attention of *gasp* men which would sully their reputation, hence the ladies-only eateries. I’m surprised beer was even an option 🍺 Palace Hotel, SF 1900 #VintageMenus

Let’s go Blue Jays! #BeatLA

In honor of the World Series being half Canadian this year please check out the offerings of the Restaurant Normandie in Quebec. This menu is HUGE and I didn’t even include all of the pages (there are three more) Are all Canadian menus bilingual? Quebec, 1937 #VintageMenus

Let’s goooo Toronto! #BeatLA

Jessica Fletcher’s origin story #DeathOnTheNile #TCMParty

Angela Lansbury and George Kennedy are the same age! #DeathOnTheNile #TCMParty

I love this movie so much 💖 #DeathOnTheNile #TCMParty

Okay, gang, it’s 1936 and we get to be in the studio audience for the Jack Benny radio show at the NBC Studios on Sunset. A talkative page said Jack likes to have dinner down the street at Simon’s after the show because it’s cheap so off we go! What are we having? #TCMParty #VintageMenus

I apologize in advance for educating you about yeast foam, but if I know it exists you should too. I think with this penmanship patrons just pointed to something on the menu and hoped for the best Location unknown 1938 #VintageMenus

In case anyone wants to sing along: #BeatLA ⚾️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Canada

Hotel WIll Rogers is a spa that offered radium baths and I pictured patrons losing their teeth and hair. Luckily for the bathers, no actual radium was involved. I question the safety of “fresh seafood” in 1930s Oklahoma, but this menu looks pretty tasty overall. Claremore, OK 1930s #VintageMenus
