1966 Lunch Card

This is a pretty complete lunch menu for the mid-1960s. All it is missing is the nice cover with the menu inside; instead, it is just a card with the table d’hôte printed on one side and a la carte on the other. The Ron Nixon cover photo is present, but just located in the upper left corner of the table d’hôte side.

  1. The plate lunch for the current price equivalent of $14 wasn’t bad since it was at least a complete meal – and you didn’t have to get beets. Why did railroads think everyone likes beets? Yuck! They still hadn’t figured out that people probably wanted a hamburger sandwich, even though they clearly had hamburger available for the hamburger “steak”. But at least they finally figured out (by 1966) that people REALLY didn’t want a tongue sandwich…or a sardine sandwich. They were very slow learners when it came to America’s changing eating habits.
