I'm about to braille menus for the upcoming NFB convention in New
Orleans.Let me hear your pet peeves/preferences about menus.
I usually use an outline format so that the reader can scan quickly
from section to section. I also place information about a group of
items at the beginning rather than at the end of a listing--i.e.
"Served with salad, baked potato and a roll"
Do readers prefer plastic or paper? (I, myeslf, detest reading
thermoform.)
Does anyone want to see the menus before the convention? I'd be glad to
supply ASCII textfiles.
I will be working on menus from Trey Yuen, La Riviera, The Gumbo Shop,
Ralph and Kacoo's, Olivier's, La Madelein, Massons, Liuzzas, The
Napoleon House and (hold on to your pocketbook) Brennan's.
And you folks who live/have lived in the Crescent City--care to give
any reviews?

Most of what you described for the menus sounded fine, outline form, placing
boillerplate text at beginnings of sections etc. In general I agree with you
that thermoform is not fun reading, but for menus, I think it is better. Menus
during convention week lead a hard life, and plastic will hold up better.
further, if something gets on them, they can be whiped off.

I would like to get the text files if possible. I would like to have them for
NFB Net, the NFB bulletinboard, which should be up soon.
