After yesterday’s holiday overeating here’s a nice, refreshing beverage to offset the overindulgence. And it’s served warm! Enjoy!

You know this place is fancy because they have a little man in a toque pushing around a meat cart. So fancy 👨‍🍳

Peace at last. San Francisco was bursting with returning soldiers, many of whom I’m sure enjoyed this dinner at the St. Francis. Note the ad for the SF Symphony, which did not go dark during the war years.

The USS Independence was in the thick of battle in the Gilbert Islands in November, 1943. Two days before Thanksgiving they took a direct torpedo strike and were on their way back to SF for repairs

Our last menu took us to the brink of US involvement in WW2. Let’s look at what our boys were eating in 1942

For the first few years the balloons were just released to the heavens after the parade. I can’t imagine any downside to that

So you’ve got your Thanksgiving dinner ready and everything looks beautiful, when cousin Steve casually mentions that he’s pescatarian now. Oh no! What to do? Not to worry! Because you’ve got a can of Tunies in the pantry just for situation like this. Dinner is saved!

The aggressive “American Only” disclaimer on the front of this menu certainly saves time if you’re thinking about eating here. Sacramento in the 1930s was aggressively segregated and xenophobic. I don’t think good prices can overcome this

Okay, one more pie and it pisses me off. Not the pie. It looks yummy. It’s that jerk John not being appreciative that Carol makes ANY dessert for his whiney ass. Carol. Girl. Grow a spine. Your feelings matter.

Okay, now I understand the strict rules. Geraldton popped up in the middle of nowhere when gold was discovered and the owners didn’t tolerate shenanigans from the rough and tumble miners. That tracks
November 25, 2025 at 2:22 PM
Well this joint has strict rules in place!

For a Chinese-owned business their Chinese Dinners seem to be geared toward their Caucasian customers. Bowl of Rice with Milk? Mmmkay.

If I were you I’d order fast before they raise prices again

This will probably be the last pie for a while because I don’t think I can top this.
It’s a SPAM pie, but the recipe leaves out very important information about the SPAM:
Dice 1/2 of the SPAM
Purée 1/2 of the SPAM
PURÉE. HALF. OF. THE. SPAM.
This is grossing even me out

I try to avoid menus that have specials cards covering up the regular menu, but the back page here is special.
THEY SELL CIGARETTES AND CIGARS ON THE FOOD MENU
(to be smoked in the Men’s Cafe only)
The food looks good too
No tipping!

Yesterday’s pie was a little gruesome so I thought I’d offer y’all something less offensive…
Lemon Jell-O and tomato sauce filling topped with tuna salad is less offensive, right?

In general. For instance, this is a menu from the early 1930s in Lake Charles, LA. Veggie sides are 10¢
