Yeager's Acres May 10 1951 Ad

I've posted a few ads and articles about Yeager's Acres, the long-gone restaurant that used to be at the corner of Kolbe Road and Cooper Foster Park Road that my grandparents used to frequent. The ads seemed to generate some nice memories for those who remember the place fondly, so here is another one I found. It announces the Grand Opening of the new Knotty Pine Dining Room and ran in the Lorain Journal on May 1, 1958.

The food items listed are kind of interesting. I don't think you see Chicken-In-The-Basket as a menu item these days anywhere (at least it's not on Midway Oh Boy's or Mutt & Jeff's menu). The stewed chicken initially didn't sound too appetizing to me, but an online recipe on cooks.com indicates that it's served with dumplings, which makes it sound like a tasty dish indeed.
