Description: Here we have a framed very rare authentic menu from the defunct L20 ("Lake to Ocean,") a Michelin three-star rated, Lettuce Entertain You, restaurant, formerly located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, IL, under the head chef, Laurent Gras (France, b. 1965.) This seafood restaurant was open only from 2008-2014, so menus are very hard to come by. We haven't opened the sealed frame, so we are unable to tell exactly what is located within the frame, but the piece of the left appears to be the regular dinner menu for the restaurant, with the one on the right apparently being a single card menu for a special event that occurred at the restaurant on November 17, 2010, the "Domaine Dublere Wine Dinner with Blair Pethel." The special event menu is signed and dated illegibly, so we can't tell if it is the signature of Laurent Gras, Domaine Dublere, Blair Pethel, or someone else entirely. Professionally framed in a contemporary solid wood black frame. We have lots of Chicago-related menus and other ephemera in our store, to which we add new inventory daily, and we're always happy to combine shipping of like items at actual cost. ("Like" items are a print and a menu; unlike items are a basketball and a menu, lol.) If the eBay checkout fails to properly combine your orders, we will issue a refund for the difference between what you paid to ship items separately and the actual cost of the combined shipping, on the day that we ship your package. (We don't find out the actual cost of combined shipping until we purchase the shipping label.) Provenance: From the estate of the Lake Bluff, Illinois, entrepreneur and epicurean, Othon Ochsner (1934-2017) who had a passion for collecting fine wines, cookbooks and restaurant menus from his travels around the world. Besides being the president and CEO of Ochsner International, and the managing director of Ochsner Auto and Bike Museum, Ochsner Object d' Art Gallery, and Ochsner Cook Book Library, he belonged to the Ordre Des Canardiers, a French organization dedicated to the preservation of French culinary traditions; and Les Amis d' Escoffer Society, which describes itself as "the nation's foremost fraternity of dedicated gastronomes.... with a membership consisting of chefs de cuisine, hotel executives, restauranteurs, and business executives who gather monthly for epicurean meals."Vintage: November 17, 2010Condition: Very clean and fresh piece will arrive in ready-to-hang condition. We haven't inspected the menus outside the frame. They appear to be in excellent condition with no issues. Very solid and stable frame with scattered colorless scratches. Glass is bright, shiny and scratch-free. Approximate Measurements: Frame measures 16 1/8" x 13.5" x 5/8" We consider funky odors (cigarette smoke, mildew, etc) to be an important part of a condition report. Corndogcache is a 100% non-smoking environment, and we'll let you know if any of our vintage items smell like it (or anything else) from activities they may have been involved in before they came to us.
