Children’s menu history: How Prohibition and Emmett Holt gave rise to kid cuisine

This is eight years earlier than when kids who vacation in Cape Cod, Mass., come of shellfish age—that is, if the children’s menus found in every clam shack in the area are anything to go by. If a child is younger than 12, Arnold’s Lobster & Clam Bar will serve them a grilled cheese sandwich or a hot dog. But no clams. Children tend to rise to the culinary bar we set for them, and children’s menus in America set the bar very low indeed. Mark Browning Introduction Video.
