Kitchen Retro

A little something kitsch and retro, every day!

Hyatt Gothic

Posted by Lidian on September 20, 2008

Was this supposed to be a recreation of American Gothic? Because that couple looked like they would be pretty scary to eat with. In fact, having a meal would be about the last thing on your mind. The first thing would be to get away from them.

Same deal here. I don’t want this guy’s veggies. Look at him with the pitchfork! He ain’t giving that basket of goodies to anybody – least of all that weirdo chef. Ad from Newsweek, 1977. Grant Wood’s little masterpiece from Wikipedia. Thanks, Wikipedia.

Go away, I have a pitchfork.

Go away, I have a pitchfork.

    I don’t think either of these couples will have any offspring.

  2. Or they at least shouldn’t have any offspring…

    oooh I wouldn’t want to eat at a hotel like that with a face on the man on the left. Makes you wonder if he’d put stricnyne or something similar in the food.

    I almost thought this was going to be a then and now. Scary, just plain scary…

    What is more, the models for the Grant Wood painting were not husband and wife, but father and daughter…

    Hopefully offspring were not forthcoming.
