Lot 186 — The Duck Inn “Meatloaf Madness” Menu

Description

A two-sided menu from The Duck Inn, Bridgeport, Chicago, dressed as an old exploitation-film poster. The front, in orange, black and cream: “Monday Nights, The Duck Inn,” “The Sweet Loaf that Makes Life Better,” “Women cry for it, men die for it,” and “Meatloaf Madness” in huge type, with “Shocking,” “Meat-crazed abandon,” “Youthful loafheads fiend” and “Public Enemy No. 1.”

The back is the menu: “Monday Meatloaf Madness!!” with the Meatloaf Plate (duck and beef meatloaf, caramelized ketchup, glazed carrots and potatoes au gratin, $25), the Meatloaf Sandwich ($25), Chips & Dip ($15), a Brûléed Banana Pudding Parfait ($12), shaved black truffles as an add-on, and The Loafhead’s Fix at $45. Clean and bright. Fair warning from the crew: reading it on an empty stomach has been known to cause mutiny.
