An immaculately designed, 28-page menu from Jahnke’s Restaurant and Cafe (mid 1920s is my best guess) also included advertisements for local food and drink suppliers alongside its thirty different relishes for twenty-two different oyster preparations. There was also an ad for a men’s suit shop, a reminder of just how heavily gendered early restaurant spaces were. Adolph Jahnke’s earlier eatery, Jahnke’s Tavern, also included an adjacent “Ladies Grill.”
