Originality can be a flaw

I was listening to Talk of the Nation this morning and heard a guy named Bruce Buschel discussing his list of 100 do's and don'ts for the waitstaff at his new restaurant. You can read the first 50 here.

I'm not going to quibble with any of them, but the discussion made me think of the many forms menus can take. Nowadays plastic-laminated pages seem to be the norm for obvious reasons, but I've seen some screwy ones. The most memorable is probably the one I got at a steak house in Tucson (I think); it was a wooden cask about 10 inches long and 8 inches around, with the menu offerings wood-burned into it.

What's the most memorable menu format you've seen?
