CINCI - Chef's Cafe - World Famous Chicken Salad

I know chicken salad isn't the most gourmet sounding dish (and it isn't really) but when they say World Famous.. I understand why. 

Chef's Cafe is the cutest little deli place I've ever been to. As soon as we walked in everyone knew my friend and were jumping up and down in excitement to see her again. Regulars straggled in an out and everyone seemed to know each other by name. Beyond cute. 

Of course they have a cute little older gentleman taking my order behind the counter that is just a little bit taller than both of us. 

Turns out he's around 80 years old, which just makes him 100x better. He takes my order of chicken salad on white bread (we came pretty close to closing time and they ran out of croissants for the day) and sweetly asks me what I want as my side - I got for the jello. Score. I know it doesn't look like much, but this was an awesome lunch. The chicken salad had such great flavor and the consistency was perfect. It felt like I was a little kid again eating this cute little lunch. It made me so happy. 

Everyone who works here is super nice and was so great to talk to. They made me feel right at home and I had such great conversations. I'd go back again and again, easy.
