Title	The Bread Line & Soup Kitchen Flier
Identifier	spl_menu_2303601-091
Restaurant Name	The Bread Line & Soup Kitchen
Description	A Pioneer Square restaurant owned by Jack Fecker, Steve Darland and Bill Keegan that attracted customers with an imaginatively themed restaurant: the 1929 stock-market crash that led to breadlines and soup kitchens. There were senior citizen servers dressed in Depression-era clothing and an old car filling station for a bar. In order to find staff when they opened in 1974, an ad was put out for "retired persons." A retired cook interviewed for a Seattle Times article was quoted as saying, "Some of us old bags can work circles around the young." When it was put up for sale in 1980, the ad tagline said, "Depression-proof restaurant."
