I don't know how long you have been publishing a monthly top ten values list, but is there a Top Ten ALL TIME values list of the Top Ten Values? I presume that the Ellis Island steak dinner would be the all-time leader, maybe followed by the Golden Gate $0.99 shrimp cocktail.
There isn't, but we took an informal survey of long-time Top Ten aficionados of our acquaintance and came up with one. (Don't tell them, but we gave a little extra weight to the memories of Anthony and Deke.)
Note that these deals are limited to their duration in the Top Ten; most either went up in price or down in quality/value since then. Only two -- Ellis Island and Arizona Charlie's -- remain on the current list.
Here it is, in reverse.
