If you ever find yourself on I-74 near Kickapoo, Illinois around lunch time (and who hasn’t dreamed of it!) you should consider a pit stop at the Jubilee Cafe.
You’ll find real, home-cooked comfort food. On the day we stopped, the lunch “special” was homemade chicken and noodles with homemade mashed potatoes. (A carb lovers DREAM!) We opted to split a tenderloin and onion rings…not the healthy “rainbow” I preach about, but a once in a blue moon treat. It was really tasty…and PLENTY to split!
We did NOT, however, succumb to the dazzling array of homemade pies in the vintage case by the door. I’m sure they were delicious. In fact, we held the door open for two little ladies who were coming when we were leaving…and we overheard one Grandma tell the other Grandma “I wonder what kinds they have today!” And from the ecstatic look on her face I’m sure she wasn’t talking about steamed vegetables!
