Blue's Cafe on Station Street in Kankakee, IL
If you watch ABC’s World News with Charles Gibson, Blue’s Cafe is a place you may actually heard of. A few weeks ago (September 18 to be exact) Barbara Pinto showed up in Kankakee to do a Wall Street vs. Main St. story. Blue’s Cafe was one of the places she visited to get the “regular Joe” insight into the financial crisis.
Blue’s Cafe is a spot that many people in the area automatically suggest when I ask for a local restaurant. According to my brother, the food is ok, but the pie is to die for. As I was waiting with my family for my niece to be born, my aunt mentioned she was hungry and hadn’t eaten all day. Since I’m always hungry, I offered to go to “lupper” (the meal between lunch and supper) with her. Since everybody always suggests it, I said “How about Blue’s?”
Blue’s Cafe is located on Station Street not far from the hospital. It’s a very plain building with an old sign out front adorned with an old Pepsi logo and the words “Blue’s Cafe.” Since we got there at such a wierd time, the dining room was fairly empty. There are two dining rooms that probably used to be the smoking and non-smoking section before Illinois got smart and banned smoking in public places. There’s also a lunch counter near the kitchen in the first dining room. Read the rest of this entry »
