South Florida Man Collects 4,000 Menus
And we thought we had a lot of menus. CBS4 has a story about Broward resident Dan Barlow who has been collecting menus from all over the world for the past half century:
Free time on a vacation can often be spent shopping for a collectible or memento from your trip. One South Florida man decided to collect something as he went around the world that may leave your mouth watering and your wallet remembering a cheaper time, restaurant menus.He holds the Guinness Book record for largest menu collection, and now he's decided to part with it; he's donated it to the Broward County historical society so they'll be available to everyone now."When we traveled around the world, it was part of my travels to bring back interesting things such as menus," Dan Barlow, also known as the "Menu Man" said.
His collection dates as far back as 1948 and features over 4,000 menus from restaurants from Paris and Egypt, to the menu for the very first TGI Fridays.
