Some, but not that much; certainly those hot beef sandwiches were the same,
though my memory of the price was 15 cents in 1936.  A great meal!

[Jazz contnet: "with Chiffafa on the side..."  Or whatever that word is!
I've absolutely no idea WHAT "chiffafa (sp.?)" is!  I've only heard Nat Cole
sing it on the original 78.

Probably some East Coast thing that isn't even spelled that way.]
