Early in my career, I was Chef at a Holiday Inn in Emporia, Kansas ... and in addition to the regular dining rooms we also had a club called Kathie's Club (named after the owner's daughter). The club was closed for lunch, so I decided to open it over the lunch hour & feature big gourmet hamburgers & kick-ass bloody mary's. This is the menu (front and back covers) for that venture ... designed and hand-drawn by my very talented friend, Fred Johnson. I've always loved this menu ... and in the days to come I will scan the inside of the menu and upload it here. The gourmet hibachi burgers were a huge success ~ the concept being big charcoal grilled burgers with different gourmet toppings ... that were served to the tableside on a real Hibachi grill with live hot charcoals in it ~ a big hit with the customers! BTW, the lil' caractiture of the chef in the lower left of the menu cover, is me!
