Lunch at 1934 Prices at Haab's

Dusty Diary accompanied a member of the Ypsilanti literati to Haab's for their special 75th anniversary lunch. Though we got there at 10:30 a.m. (they open at 11), there was already a considerable line down Michigan Ave. We were seated quickly and had a great waitress.

Dusty D ordered the famous Chicken in a Basket (50 cents) and actually finished it. I now have sufficient calories to carry me through to Halloween--and it was worth it. The fries were good too. Haab's was packed, so we made sure to eat and leave quickly so our waitresscould turn over the table.

Dusty D left a tip commensurate to 20% of what the normal price would have been--every staff person there will certainly earn it today. Happy 75th anniversary to Haab's and thank you for the lovely chicken lunch!
