RON SWARNER: WHEN A NEW YORK SIRLOIN WAS $4.50 >>>

South South Eats posted vintage menus on its site. Check the menus out here.

Above is a vintage menu from my collection â€" El Gaucho's first menu circa 1953. Back then, El Gaucho's New York sirloin and filet were $4.50 each, broiled fresh salmon steak was $3.25, and a whole squab chicken, with baked potato mind you, was $3.50. They even had the nerve to charge $1.25 extra to split a meal.
