Check out this hotel restaurant menu from the year 1857:
Louisville Hotel Table d’Hote
Verily, all the essentials are in place, with a purely French approach to cooking, ample quantities of meats, dispensable veggies, abundant wine from around the world, and even Guinness (imported from Dublin) and India Pale Ale from the UK.
This probably would have been the best beer list in Louisville in 1957 ... and as recently as the early 1980's.
Absolutely fascinating.
Many thanks to Doogy R. for posting this on Robin Garr’s Louisville Restaurants Forum.
The Allsopp’s label was found here.

ReplyDeleteI like the Blue at the bottom simply because we havent had any blue shirts. If not that I'd go for the black.
Thanks, Tony.
