I remember the "fast food" eateries in Manhattan in the 1940s and 1950s. The Horm and Hardart Auto mats where you inserted nickels to select a portion behind a small glass door. Always a treat for a child. As a young adult in the 1950s I stopped at Chock Full of Nuts to sit at a counter for their coffee and a date and nut bread with cream cheese as a pick me up. Any chance you can find the recipe for their bread or learn where it was made? I enjoy your recipes and suggestions.
