The House of Good Tastes

January 31, 1967, Twin City News-Record

We first featured this establishment almost three years ago:  https://menashabook.blogspot.com/2016/04/4th-and-racine.html in a different incarnation.  In that post, hovering around the 1960 time frame, it was known as Dave's Penguin Palace.  I think I had my first "fast food" hamburger from this place as a kid and I remember it pretty distinctly for some reason, as it was a summer night and my parents sent my brother to get a bag of burgers and fries.  It was the first time I can remember not having to sit at the kitchen or dining room table to eat.  We just sat on the sun porch and ate.  I know you're supposed to remember where you were when the important stuff happened- sitting in the first grade classroom when President Kennedy was shot, or watching TV on that same sun porch six years later when man first walked on the moon.  So I guess this was important to me.  Funny how the mind works.  Some old songs from the sixties conjure up memories, too, but this ad did the trick.
