Documentary of the Month: "The Automat"

Iconic restaurant chain Horn & Hardart revolutionized the nation’s restaurant scene with technology that captured the public’s imagination like nothing else - put nickels into slots and little windows opened to reveal your pick, be it a slice of pie, macaroni and cheese, or a Salisbury steak. Featuring interviews with Mel Brooks, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Colin Powell and Elliott Gould, The Automat illustrates how the company both served the public with great food and at the same time treated its employees with fairness and integrity.
