So, I have a shoebox full of carefully maintained recipes (picture obviously antithesis thereof and thus marginally unrelated)

What do? Also, has anyone else had this sort of luck, be it with stores or your own attic?

Holy shit.. that actually sounds kinda cool..
I'd eat there.
The menu could just have one thing on there 'The special'
..and it would always be one flat price. Like.. so many dollars for a plate.

Someone needs to make this happen

Also, post them OP
Take pictures or scan that shit or something.
I love old recipie shit

To be fair, the image posted is labelled 'box of receipts' and is actually a box of receipts.

That said, post 'em!

This is nowhere near the lower limit. 1968...1966...handwritten recipes on napkins...Oct. 1957...

The best thing is most of these are magazine cutouts or things distributed by the companies. It's like a time capsule of cooking.

The restaurant would need to be called the Time Capsule Kitchen, duh.

Oh believe you me, I will. It'll take time and work...but it'll get done. Maybe I'll press-gang all the little recipes into a free pdf file or something.

I found a recipe book for kiwi in some old dive second hand shop a few years ago. It was from the 19th century. It was $50 but i still regret not buying it.. Then hunting down a kiwi and hmmm forbidden meat.

I would probably be exiled for life or tortured on national tv or something if caught though..

Old cookbooks are awesome. I have a little collection of cookbooks from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that are so cool to look through. I've made quite a few of the recipes too, and they've all turned out awesome. I also have a little collection of food gore cookbooks from mid-century too. Those are hilarious. Ever seen a bbq'ed whole bologna? Terrifying.
