Rathbun's Original Menu Art to be Released

The first ten will go up for auction on this Sunday.

For Rathbun’s five-year birthday party, Kevin Rathbun is debuting his artist side with his introduction of his personal collection of “Original Menu Art” that he drew between May, 2004 and May, 2005 at Rathbun’s. Kevin has listed the value of these original drawings at $100.00 each however, he mentions, that one recently sold at the Beastly Feast Auction for over $150.00.
His first charity to benefit from the “Original Menu Art” drawings is the Inman Park Security Patrol.

In 2004, when Rathbun’s first opened, Kevin Rathbun personally hand drew every specials menu and added his little food and plate drawings near the names of the specials. He saved every one of those original hand-drawn menus, which were completed in pencil and are now signed and numbered artists proofs. Each menu is one of one and are named “Original Menu Art”. Kevin has approximately two hundred and fifty of the drawings and will be auctioning them off on a quarterly basis starting June 10th, 2009.

Check them out this Sunday at the BBQ party

Dining out in Restaurants

With all of the media articles out there in the news telling people how to save money, we would like to offer some tips on how to dine out more often and have it cost less.

1. Dine out at Krog Bar and enjoy the small plates menu.

2. Dine out at Kevin Rathbun Steak and order the small filet mignon instead of the larger one.

3. Sine out at Rathbun's and order from the Big Plates side of the menu.

4. Order desserts at Rathbun's. They are big enough to fill you yet only cost $3.95

See you soon.

Happy New Year

Well, the new year has begun and although 2008 seemed had its ups and downs, it was a terrific year for all of us at Rathbun's. During the 2008 year, we celebrated the 4th birthday of Rathbun's, the 1st birthday of Kevin Rathbun Steak and the third birthday of Krog Bar. All three were a hit and we believe that all of the events for the birthdays were very successful.

We also completed our 2008 cooking classes. They sold out quickly and we posted the 2009 cooking classes in October and they sold out within 2 days. (If you would like to be on the list to be notified of the 2010 classes, please join our mailing list.

We thank you for the great year and we look forward to a new year serving our friends.
