Soiled, stained, but legible. A rare survival from Richmond's Hotel Rueger. A short, but surprisingly wide ranging menu with 10 entrees from Baked Blue Fish with Creole Sauce to Braised Sweetbreads on Toast with Green Peas. Old Virginia Spoon Bread. For dessert, ice cream, pie, chlled watermelon, American or roquefort cheese. Special Rainbow Platters: Broiled Rock Fish with Corn Cakes and Cole Slaw $1.25, Crab Meat Cakes, Cole Slaw and French Fried Potatoes $1.45. The Hotel "Famous For Fine Foods Since 1846" dates back to the establishment opened by German immigrant Louis Rueger in 1846. It was seized to be Commodore of the Confederate Navy's headquarters and subsequently burned down in 1865. He rebuilt it as the Lafayette Saloon and it was expanded by his grandson in the earlier 20th century as The Hotel Rueger. It's still there as The Commonwealth, renovated except for the original 1912 elevators. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
