Interesting Memory from Roseann Restaurant Motel
On ebay right now is this old menu from the now-gone Roseann Motel in Searcy AR. It is not forgotten, however, because it was quite popular and was located on East Race. The listing says it is from the 1950's. One very interesting thing about it is possibly a bit of sexism? Look at this closeup.
Note it says their good food is "prepared by expert women cooks." I don't believe it would be correct today. Were women cooks better cooks or did it mean that women were only useful for cooking? Now glance at the prices and compare to today's pricing. Ouch!! 14 oz T-Bone for 3.50!
I never knew that chicken livers were fried in butter!
