(*NEW ARRIVAL*) (San Francisco) Bergez-Frank's Old Poodle Dog. Souvenir Menu - New Year's 1909 Supper

2 pp. 11x7", pictorial cover illustration printed on aqua card stock. San Francisco: Bergez-Frank's Old Poodle Dog, 1909.

The Poodle Dog opened in 1849 as one of San Francisco's first restaurants, and quickly became its most famous French restaurant. It's namesake, the dog Ami, died two days after the restaurant move to a new location in 1868. While the restaurant boomed for nearly 60 years, it failed to hold up during Prohibition, and shut its doors in 1922.

There was good reason to celebrate in 1909: the restaurant had survived the 1906 earthquake. Crab a la Newburg en caisse, diamond terrapin Maryland, lobster saute a l'Americaine, and much more. Plus a music program!

Fine.
