There are some remarkable images of food, festivals, and gardening in this archive of American early color photography on the Denver Post:

Here is a mid-century shot of a Louisiana barbecue joint:



I'd love to see other links to early regional food photography, similar to the old restaurants / postcard threads, if there is not already a thread for this. Thanks for sharing your own finds.

Great old photos! Nice find.

Ahhhhh. Kodachrome!

It's pretty 60s/70s-centric, but a lot of fun ads, photos, recipes and the like.

I'z gonna say. Those nice bright colors. Beautiful.

If you're not already familiar with it, check out http://www.shorpy.com. It's a wonderful general vintage photo site. Tends to be more street scenes, architecture, etc. But you can do a word search and come up with great food stuff as well as old kitchens, restaurants, adverts., etc. I'm addicted to it.

Funny thing is, I think about 80% of those pictures look tasty.
