Post #3 - August 9th, 2009, 10:27 amThe Research Center at the Chicago History Museum has a collection of Chicago menus. I don't think an online catalog is available.
The Los Angeles Public Library has over sixty old Chicago menus available online. Go to their Menu Collection page and enter "Chicago."
Another useful resource is eBay. Often whole-page scans are uploaded. Even if you don't want to buy, you are free to look.
