Cafe Borgia in Munster, Indiana

I had the extreme pleasure of having lunch at Café Borgia last week.  I don’t live in the same area as the restaurant any more but I sure like going there when possible.  I’ve been friends with the owners Mike Jesso and Karen Jesso for a long time and have been a happy dining customer of theirs since 1986 at their earlier location in Lansing, IL.  Their new restaurant is a nice looking building inside and out. They have a main dining room and also a couple of private dining rooms to choose from. When the weather is kind there is their outdoor garden patio.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My friend Earl and I decided to drive to Munster, Indiana from the Beverly area inChicago.  I was happy to see owner Mike at a table and was able to talk a little. I also was able to say hello to Keith, the terrific chef, while he prepped and did his thing in the kitchen area.  I was extremely happy with the meal that I chose.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I decided to try the chicken breast stuffed with 4 cheeses. It came with a fabulo brandy cream sauce, steamed green beans and large granule couscous as sides. Wowee Zowee.  I loved it. I’m not kidding. It was the best restaurant meal I’ve had in a while.  I chose Brooklyn Lager as a beverage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My friend Earl ordered his favorite chicken vesuvio and to kick it up a little he had the waiter top it with some parmesan cheese.  He chose Peroni Italian beer for his beverage.
