                                                 MT. SHASTA RESTAURANT, Michigamme, Michigan

Liver and onions, hot roast beef sandwiches, grilled salmon, and chili are just some of the
classic comfort food on the menu at Mt. Shasta, located east of Michigamme, Michigan on
U.S. Highway 41.

Chicagoan Nancy Ferro, a veteran of the food service industry, bought this landmark log
restaurant/bar and brought it back from a derelict state to become a popular eatery in the
Lake Michigamme region, west of Marquette.

Mt. Shasta has a colorful history, as it started out as an Ishpeming-area dance hall in 1936.
The restaurant made a cameo appearance in the 1959 film Anatomy of a Murder, which was
shot on location in the area.  Enlargements of production photos still grace the walls of the
restaurant.

There is a good brief history of Mt. Shasta Restaurant in Hunt's Guide to Michigan's Upper
Peninsula.  Scroll down the Home Page to the tab on the right:  Places Around Michigamme
to Eat.  Mt. Shasta Restaurant is right under the tab, and is itself a link.  Click on and go to
Mt. Shasta's own page!

Read all about Mt. Shasta Restaurant and find information about their specials, and their
winter hours.  Mmm... comfort food!
