Time WarpBy Baur’s Ristorante travels back to 1958 for the Junior Symphony Guild.Published on March 12, 2009 at 1:13amIts debatable whether the good old days of the 1950s were really as golden as some folks remember. But theres one aspect of that time about which everyone can wax nostalgic: the price of dining out. Can you imagine a $5 prime rib plate or a $1.50 martini? Wouldnt it be nice if we could enjoy a fine dinner with yesterdays prices on todays paycheck? The Junior Symphony Guild certainly thought so, and in honor of its fiftieth anniversary, its holding a week-long fundraiser, Fill Your Plate Just Like 1958, at Baurs Ristorante, 1512 Curtis Street. For a donation of $58 per couple or $30 per single, diners can enjoy a special prix fixe menu time-warped to 2009 at 1950s prices. Baurs owner/operator Jimmy Lambatos went back into the archives of Baurs from the 50s and dug up old menus, and what the recipes were, and what the pictures were like, and thats what hes going to be working off, explains the guilds Carole Kramer. The dinner special starts tomorrow and runs through Saturday, March 21 (make reservations by calling 303-534-4842 or going to www.baursdenver.com). But from 3 to 6 p.m. today, a kickoff party will give diners a taste of whats to come, with 50s attire, music, heavy hors doeuvre and a cash bar featuring 50s cocktails. Admission to the party is the same $30/$58 arrangement. Neato!
