A Taste of Chicago in Fairhaven

<< Back to archives | Monday, April 2, 2007

A new restaurant just opened - A Taste of Chicago Cafe in the 12th Street Village.  It is locally owned and managed by Karen Williams and her three daughters.  Above, Miya is preparing food for a customer while Alexis is taking an order.  They have completely redone the interior and counters to a very uptown decor.  Karen cooked professionally in Chicago and brings several of her original Chicago recipes to us in Fairhaven, including her BBQ sauce and Chicago style hot dogs.  She also has a vegetarian panini with eggplant, roasted red peppers, and more.  They serve waffles and omlets for breakfast and stay open for dinners till 8 pm. 

A third daughter, Saba, is the sous chef while Miya is the barista and brings a special Chicago touch to her expreso drinks.  The 12th Street Village is the new complex of buildings kitty corner from Stanello’s restaurant at Fairhaven Parkway and 12th Street.  The Cafe cannot be seen from the street - but on the plus side has plenty of parking in the lot adjoining the complex.  I encourage all to check out this new and different dining experience in Fairhaven.  Karen and family, we welcome you to Fairhaven.
