I have seen some request from various old menu from Louisiana restaurants across this site so I have decided to share this resource with you.

https://library.search.tulane.edu/discovery/collectionDiscovery?vid=01TUL_INST:Tulane&collectionId=81432618490006326&lang=en&sortby=title

"The Louisiana Research Collection (LaRC) of Tulane University Special Collections (TUSC) preserves extensive holdings documenting Louisiana's food and cooking culture, including several thousand menus, restaurant brochures, bar flyers, and other items essential for understanding the cuisine and food industry of our state. "

It's all online and available for free

Hell, I love looking at them just to see the prices of their food back then.

I know it's all relevant-----wages/prices at the time, but to see some menus with $5 prime steaks, side dishes for $1.50 to $3, desserts for $1.25 and cocktails for $1 or less is enough to make you wish for the "Good Old Days".
