New Joe's Special (1949)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

I was just revisiting A TASTE OF TEXAS (1949) when I noticed a recipe for
the San Francisco dish "New Joe's Special." It's worth recording, since I
haven't found any earlier.

And, say, did you ever eat New Joe's "Special" in San Francisco--chopped
steak, spinach and scrambled eggs all cooked together with a plate of spaghetti
