Front and back of one-page menu from the Scandia Restaurant, with a whimsical cartoon map rendering by Hakon Mielche of the Scandinavian countries and the U.S.A., populated by people in Viking hats preparing specialty food items to load on ships and a plane headed to the United States, toward a couple seated at a dining table in Hollywood. The menu features spot illustrations, often of chefs or dishes highlighted in red, for the various segments of the menu, and handwritten specials.
