Kaffee und Kuchen: Good Bites and Goodbye

Good Bites and Goodbye is a collection of some of the QC’s favorite places to grab a bite or have a dinner that are no longer around. We will also have some fun exploring a collection of the worst menu ideas from the 1950s. This lighthearted program will bring back some nostalgic memories for anyone who grew up in the Quad Cities or wants to learn about some historic local eateries that are no longer operating.
