Dated 10/20/79, inscribed & signed in brown felt-tip to the blank FFE "Roy F. Guste, Jr." "This book contains the original recipes of the world-famous Antoine's Restaurant, revealed for the first time, since Antoine Alciatore opened the doors of his French Quarter restaurant, in New Orleans in 1840, . . . the oldest restaurant in the United States operated continuously by the same family for five generations. . . ." Creole Gumbo, Oysters Bienville, Shrimp Creole, etc. (Our fourth scan shows the restaurant's menu in use from about 1910 to 1940, when the nation -- its dollar being convertible to gold and silver -- suffered essentially no inflation. But don't think a customer could get clever and order just a single appetizer or fish entree and thus get off cheap! No no! "$1.00 Per Person Minimum"!) 186 pp., reduced from $62.
