Bea's Roundtable

My favorite restaurant turns 60 this year.

In the comments, there's some talk that Bea's is too pricey now. Here's one way of looking at it. When the restaurant opened, it charged 75 cents a person. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis's inlfation calculator, 75 cents in 1950 would be worth $6.63 today.
