Dining with the Ambassador: Rare Look at an Old Cocoanut Grove Menu
Thanks to regular Franklin Avenue reader Tess -- who's a huge Ambassador Hotel buff (she even bought an Ambassador table I had to unload) -- we get these cool images of an old Cocoanut Grove menu.
The menu dates all the way back to March 4, 1945. It's pretty fascinating to see just how differently restaurant goers ate back then -- bleech. Lucky we live in modern times.

As stated by Stanford Medical, It's indeed the ONLY reason this country's women live 10 years longer and weigh on average 19 KG lighter than us.
(By the way, it has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret-exercise and really, EVERYTHING to about "how" they are eating.)
