South Florida Man Serves Up His Menu Collection

FT. LAUDERDALE (CBS4) ― 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.

"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.

But, Dan says it's time to say goodbye to his menu memories. He's donating the menus to the Broward County historical society.

"I hope they can get a good display going. I'm sure they will. They can be proud. We can be proud of the same thing," Barlow said.
