The Culinary Institute of America, the world’s premier culinary college, has recently opened its vast and diverse collection of 30,000 menus to the public. The collection began in the small reference library at the college’s first campus in New Haven, Connecticut with donations from members of The CIA community. Over the years, it grew from the generosity of many major menu collectors, including George Lang, Chapman S. Root, Craig Claiborne, and Roy Andries de Groot . Now housed in the Conrad N. Hilton Library on the college’s campus in Hyde Park, New York, the menu collection contains items dated from 1855 to the present, including a significant representation of international menus. The menus are used by students for various projects, are often on exhibit in the library, and are currently being digitized.
Born and raised in Vegas and now in Detroit. Being able to enjoy these menus is amazing. Put eight up in my dining room in matted frames. I couldn't be more impressed with them.

Loved the Katz Menu! Our grandson lives in view of the old Katz Dug Store I grew up going to in the 1950s and 1960s. We framed it behind glass with the menu behind glass on the frame back. He's going to love it for his birthday! The quality and color are bright and eye catching! Also found the history included very interesting! Thank you !

I gifted five of your menus to five different friends during the holiday season. I can't tell you how pleased each of the recipients were to receive the menus. So many fun memories were awakened. So much joy was shared. Good luck with your unique business.

Framed this for one of my wife’s Christmas gifts. She absolutely loves it. I used a frame with no mat and it turned out super nice.
