There are some recipes that never really go out of fashion. They have that magical something that keeps them in our hearts and on our tables for generations. Is it nostalgia? Ease? Tradition? Whatever it is, thank goodness for the oldies but goodies — they’re so dependably delicious! Just for fun, we put together this collection of recipes that were popular in 1951: the year Gene and Bernie Gelson opened their very first store in Burbank. We hope you’ll enjoy them as much as we have!
