This is a somewhat odd name for a truck stop. The food here must have been really tasty for rough and tumble truckers to fuel up at a joint with a logo containing a bonnet and parasol. ☂️ 🛻 ⛽️ The Country Girl Modesto, CA 1962 #VintageMenus

This is like a Nate Bargatze bit “So, you asked about the Autopen?” “No, I did not”

I see two possibilities here: Either the cherry cheeked lady fancies the gentleman or she just slipped the vicar a slow acting poison masked by Snider’s Old Fashioned Chili Sauce #VintageFood #VintageAds

We haven’t visited the offerings of those insane food scientists at the mid-century Del Monte test kitchens in a while, so who wants some cream corn on toast? It’s “new for lunch or supper” I’m not sure what a Pattycake is but it’s got a pound of corn on it, so dig in! #VintageFood

I’m always up for a Marion Davies movie! #TCMParty #GoingHollywood

Naming a hotel Faust is certainly a choice. It’s not our first encounter with the netherworld this year but seriously management should crack a book Anyhoo, this is a tasty looking breakfast menu but order fast before they raise the prices again Hotel Faust Rockford, IL 1940s #VintageMenus

Here’s another dynamic duo: Della and Perry 💖 I have it on first hand authority from a friend of Ms Hale that she struggled with even cooking oatmeal, so I assume her cook provided this recipe. I’ve never made a homemade Caesar salad so I’m just going to assume Raymond is correct #VintageFood

It would be hard to find a more classic diner than the Butterfly Cafe (Air Conditioned!) It is mid-century perfection and I’d be disappointed if at least one of these lovely waitresses isn’t named Marge Butterfly Cafe Cedar Rapids, IA 1950 #VintageMenus

Here are a couple of wartime (both wars) ads. The coffee ad is from 1942, and rationing kicked in in November that year. The cake recipe is from 1918 and boasts “no wheat, eggs, butter or milk” They get points for lots of spices, but I can only imagine it’s quite…dense #VintageFood #VintageAds

That jerk is making me look things up again 🤬 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurre...

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

I didn’t know that Harvey Houses had a contract with the National Parks. This restaurant opened in 1947 and has both American and Mexican dishes. Everything looks delicious. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987 Fred Harvey’s The Painted Desert Inn Arizona, 1957 #VintageMenus

My son just shared the Dead’s Hell in a Bucket video with me and I’ve just spent 5 minutes trying to explain the difference between ducks and geese to him (there’s a duck in the video) and I swear my kid isn’t an idiot. He’s 39. #RIPBobby ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Here are two tasty looking vegetarian dishes from two dynamic duos. The eggplant parm is kinda like a lasagna, which is an interesting twist I’m trying to picture Linda’s zucchini and apple recipe and can’t figure how the tomatoes fit but I’m sure it’s delicious #VintageFood #VintageRecipes

Well this menu is both fun and a teensy bit chaotic. It’s like a comic book but with food choices. It’s very dude ranch without the dudes. I’d avoid the shrimp but I’m sure everything else is excellent Harman Ranch Restaurant Tempe, AZ 1950s #VintageMenus

Confession: I love squeeze cheese I may or may not have bought a couple of aerosol cans in the past year The first picture is from 1973 and I don’t remember that one at all, but I’d 💯 eat that #VintageFood

This joint has everything you’d want in a mid-century eatery Classic diner menu? ✔️ Open 24 hours?✔️ Curbside service? ✔️ Elaborate map of the area? ✔️ Weird Latin motto? ✔️ Harvey’s Drive-In Colorado Springs, 1952 #VintageMenus

I don’t even care that Mario Lanza wasn’t much of an actor, I just wish he had taken better care of himself and made more than seven movies #TheToastOfNewOrleans #TCMParty

FYI ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Lucy’s icebox sherbet looks both easy and tasty. You can skip the raw egg white part. Please skip the raw egg white. Now Eleanor. Girl. Let’s talk. You’re my favorite first lady but in the name of good desserts this is not pudding. It’s bread and berries. Leave the cooking to the help #VintageFood

My knowledge of Alaska is pretty much limited to Northern Exposure reruns, so this post WW2 menu is pretty interesting. Fresh fruit, veg, dairy and eggs are understandably more expensive, but they still offer full dinners for less than $2.00 Belle’s Juneau AK, 1948 #VintageMenus

I double dog dare someone to try one of these abominations. Leila Hyams is flat out nuts. Orange juice and coffee?! And Portland Hoffa (Mrs Fred Allen) is no prize either. Ginger ale and Sanka?! The 1930s were weird, man #VintageFood #Abominations #TCMParty

In 1958 the Desert Inn was high roller heaven in Las Vegas. From hosting totally safe “bomb watching” parties to ignoring the bevy of mobsters seemingly everywhere, this joint was pure Vegas. The food looks great but I don’t think we can afford it Desert Inn Las Vegas, 1958 #VintageMenus

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Okay, these are two recipes that I’d probably make. They’re easy and not weird. I’d maybe add some shoots to Anna May’s egg foo yung but it looks tasty and simple. And although Gloria’s fudge is a giant sugar bomb, that’s what fudge is anyway and it’s only 2 ingredients! #VintageFood #TCMParty

Opened in 1935, the Dorchester House hotel and restaurant targeted traveling motorists seeing the USA in their Chevrolet. This is a tasty looking menu (room service available) and definitely get the blackberry pie. Dorchester House Oregon, 1948 #VintageMenus

What was your #ChildhoodCinema Center Theater, Fremont, CA

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

I’m calling shenanigans on Clark Gable having a recipe for anything let alone one for oyster stew And Dick Powell…get outta here with your grilled bananas and elitist way of presenting your weird OJ/ lemon juice combo #VintageFood #TCMParty

This is the most classic diner menu a person could ask for. Open 24 hours, good selections, and a side of fries is only 10¢ I’m even going to break my cardinal rule about seafood in the Midwest because 40 Fathom Frozen Seafood was reputable Ellis Restaurant Indiana, 1930s #VintageMenus

This YouTube channel is really good and unbiased with breaking news www.youtube.com/live/qGGoaB1...

Are you fecking kidding me?!🤬 www.kxly.com/news/two-sho...

Egg salad is so basic pretty much anyone can make it, right? Chop up some hard boiled eggs, some mayo and relish, maybe a little salt and pepper and voila! Delicious! Somehow Mary has created a soul crushing abomination And Zelda’s breakfast preference just makes me sad for her #VintageFood

This press conference is making me stabby

#EasyLiving and #HistoryIsMadeAtNight back to back tonight?! Yippee! 🥳 I’m loving #JeanArthur month 🎉 #TCMParty

Well this is the most adorable spokes-duck I’ve ever seen. I assumed the name was a nod to the Oregon Ducks, but the founder’s name was actually Waddle! A Portland favorite, it closed in 2004 Waddle’s Portland, OR 1940s #VintageMenus

I just had a weird thing happen. I thought I should familiarize myself with Project 2025 (because obvious reasons) and there was a Kindle Unlimited version, so easy peasy. I went to download it and got the notification “not compatible with this device” which is a Kindle but it’s readable on iPad

Not abominations, just examples of streamlined timesavers from the 50s and 60s. I don’t know if my mom ever used that Miracle Angel Food mix (I remember her whipping a whole carton of egg whites) but she definitely made that Jell-O pudding cheesecake a few times. That was delicious! #VintageFood

In 7th grade my English teacher assigned “The Outsiders” to the class and we all got shiny new paperbacks to take home. I didn’t understand the concept of only reading one chapter at a time and waiting to discuss because honestly what kind of psycho puts a book down after one chapter?

Like the cover says, this IS a good place to eat, and offering a complete dinner for 85¢ is fantastic. The chow looks great and as a bonus they have spaghetti sides! However, I don’t understand the French designation here. This is straight up American cuisine Rene and Jean LA, 1947 #VintageMenus

A good double feature with #StormWarning is #BlackLegion (1937) #TCMParty

I’m calling abomination shenanigans on this extremely green soup. Also, I don’t believe for one minute that Mrs. Jack Hawkins has ever set foot in the kitchen. She obviously has people for that #VintageFood #Abominations #BatchelorsSoupIsPeople

I’m digging the antifa programming today #TCMParty #TheMortalStorm #StormWarning #ToBeOrNotToBe

We finally got some decent snow! It’s late this year ❄️ ⛄️ www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I like the chaotic nature of this menu’s layout. Not sure about what kind of beast “Veals (Pork Tenderloins)” comes from, though. And maybe stay away from anything that has “Delicious” in quotes, but overall this joint looks pretty good Van’s Pig Stand Shawnee, Oklahoma, 1940s #VintageMenus

No abominations today (unless you really hate Space Food Sticks) I’m just having some happy flashbacks to childhood. Those Space Food Sticks weren’t particularly tasty but by God we ate them like astronauts 🇺🇸 🫡 And those Chun King egg rolls are SO much better than Totino’s #VintageFood

Behold the origin story of gigantic frozen lasagna at your local grocery store. Stouffer’s restaurants were popular throughout the Midwest and East Coast from the 1920s-70s until the brand started focusing on frozen food and phased out restaurants Stouffer’s Location Unknown, 1947 #VintageMenus
