He should put the most expensive thing on the top

Stick with the entrees that you can read the prices for.

if you have to squint, you can’t afford it!

Clever idea!

Oh I can tell that I’m in trouble on this one. I usually just say E ‘cause all eye charts have that on top

“Dale. What you’re charging for this item down here, is out of sight. I can’t see paying ‘that’ for something that’s not cooked.”

I’ll have the nachos and lasagna.

In all fairness, shouldn’t there also be a “Womenu”?

“How far down menu can you read?” … “Read it with your right eye closed.” … “Okay. Now you left eye.” … “Which special looks best to you? One or two?” … “Hold the menu at arms length. What comes after the tomato soup?” … “Look out the window. Can you read our sign across the street?”

Lucky patrons, due to the pandemic the local restaurant did away with menus and has the menu on the wall !

Just so long as all the good stuff is legible!

Just pick one..otherwise he’ll talk you into cheap frames…

tuesdays they feature a blind taste test…

Anyone else notice this is from 2017. Is he on vacation and we’re seeing reruns?

…and now?

The prices are always at the bottom.

This is where you learn to read the fine print on legal papers.

Don’t check their eyes until after they’ve eaten and paid those high prices…

Wow, I’d eat there if those were the prices. (That’s very reasonable around these parts.)

Now, read the lowest line you can make out. “T-A-R-I-O-C-A?”

Waiter, I’ll have the number one or number two. Which is better?

Of course, unlike a regular eye test, it uses real words with contextual clues.

Most menus look like eye tests when I forget my readers

Once I was ushered into the exam room before the optometrist arrived and took the time to memorize the lowest line on the eye chart, so that when she asked me to read the smallest line I could see I rattled off “Copyright © 1977 Bausch Lomb Co.”. She was momentarily startled but then laffed and said “No, but really …”.

I remember seeing a vision chart like that on the wall of a Pearl Vision Center! ;-p

Anything under Font size 21 is a kid’s meal.

It should be expensive and easy menu items on top and gradating to inexpensive and tasty items as you go down the menu.
