In the early to mid 50's my parents went to a relative's anniversary dinner at Ye Olde College Inn.
There were 4 couples for dinner. The next day I heard her talking to a friend and she astoundingly reported that she saw the bill and it "was over $100.00". We can do that at Luby's when the grandkids are in town.
The Ye Olde College Inn in the 1940s and 50s ( and probably the 30s, before I was born) was the special-treat restaurant. Their most fabulous mIn course was filet mignon with "scrubbed in their jackets" baked potatoes with 4-5 toppings--for $5.
