{"product_id":"mortons-surf-club-chicago-1960s","title":"Morton's Surf Club, Chicago 1960s","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1950s, the surfing community on Lake Michigan would have been much smaller than today – the season lasts from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Those who did brave the waves, and those who preferred to just enjoy the scenic views of the lake - probably ended up at Morton’s Surf Club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBilled as ‘Chicago’s most fabulous restaurant,’ it was located on Outer Drive and 56th Street and certainly seemed like a groovy place to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeach chairs were available for guests, the patio was used for art fairs, garden parties and fashion shows and meals were available from morning till as late as 3am. There was also a Casino Bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe menu was classic mid-century design featuring items such as the ‘Mortini- the martini that has no rival’ for 65c.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was also suggested that customers ordering the aged 18oz prime sirloin steak should not ask for it to be well-done, as the kitchen could not be responsible for the result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis establishment should not be confused with the current Morton’s Steak House chain of restaurants, established in Chicago in 1978 by two entrepreneurs who worked at the Playboy Club in Montreal, Quebec. Morton’s has grown to over 65 restaurants in the US and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe believe Morton’s Surf Club was replaced by the Palm Grove Inn but both establishments are long gone, and offices are in their place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGallery quality Giclée print on natural white, matte, 100% cotton rag, acid and lignin free archival paper using Epson Ultrachrome HD archival inks.
