Another Dubrow's reference

My cousin Steven Green sent me this screenshot he found of a reference to Dubrow's in the novel Revolutionaries by Joshua Furst.    While being sold as fiction, it has a character named Abby Hoffman, and it is that character's wife who apparently scrounged for food at Dubrow's.  Who knows whether that really happened or not, but it makes a good story... 


Request from a reader

Larry Paul writes with a request for anyone who remembers Dubrow's using china:

"Can you help me with a series of articles I am writing on cafeterias for a facebook page geared to people who appreciate and collect  restaurant china.

I am working on a post about Dubrow’s, based mostly on your blog spot information. The cafeterias I am writing about used china that was crested for them with ,usually , their trademarks. I went through your blog and found a couple of photos showing china (1940 crew photo &  A. Harriman in 1950’s). The 40’s photo has design border on the cups, and the 50’s photo seems to just have a dark line band. One of the posts on your blog mentions silver flatware that is crested, and I found a tray on WorthPoint with “Dubrow”s” marking. So far I have found no “Dubrow’s” crested china.

My question is - do you know of any china that was crested for Dubrow’s?" 

Anyone able to help Larry Paul out?  Comment on this post!
