What's Cookin' at the Mikado?

A vintage menu from the Mikado Inn in Harmon showcases dining options from the 1930s era. The establishment offered Spring Lamb Chops for $1.50, Filet Mignon Mikado for $3.00, and a Porterhouse Steak for two priced at $5.00.

The menu features "Chicken or Beef Sukiyaki, seasoned with Soyu Sauce served in a chafing dish with rice" as the house specialty. This dish represents an interesting culinary intersection of Japanese cuisine offered in the Hudson Valley region during that historical period.

The article references a previous post about pianist and entertainer Oscar Levant's experience at the Mikado. According to that earlier piece, Levant described "sleeping quarters with twenty or thirty Japanese waiters in the cellar," suggesting the establishment housed staff on premises.
