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

King Crab Legs are in at Kevin Rathbun Steak

We had these King Crab legs in last week and they sold so well, that we have brought them back for a second menu special.

These Alaskan King Crab legs have NEVER been frozen. Have you ever tried a King Crab Leg that has NOT been frozen? It is by far superior to lobster and if you will be dining this weekend, ask your server for them.

They are delicious and your guests will love them too. You can order them individually or for the table to share.

Presidential Election and the restaurant business

What happens to the restaurant business when everybody is at home watching the presidential election? Well, it is probably the same thing that happens to any evening/entertainment business at this time in the election. People just stay home and wait for the election results.

Here are a few ways for you to keep everybody happy during the presidential election tallying process on Tuesday.

1. Order food to go at Rathbun's and call the order in so that it will be waiting at the bar when you arrive.

2. Order plates of Tramezzini's from Krog Bar so that you can celebrate your favorite candidate winning .

3. Order steaks to go at Kevin Rathbun Steak and dine slowly at home while you are watching the television.

While we would love to have you dine in the restaurants, if you are not dining out on Tuesday, at least you can take home some great food.
