This wide-ranging exhibit, curated by historian Jan Longone, celebrates the history of the eating out experience.

See guidebooks about historic and contemporary hotels, motels, inns, taverns, saloons, bars, diners, tea rooms, coffee houses, lunchrooms, soda fountains, roadhouses, cafes, bistros, drive-ins and more. View 300+ food and wine menus, mostly American, from all fifty states plus trains and ships.

Learn about contemporary chefs as well as great chefs of the past. Recognize those who spent 50 years conserving Catalan cuisine, and view an array of menus designed by Salvador Dalí. Items that contributed to the California Food Revolution are on display, including the original letter from Alice Waters offering a young Jeremiah Tower, one of the country’s first celebrity chefs, his job at Chez Panisse in Berkeley.
