“Jack’s Cafe in ChicoIt’s a little place on Main Street,Where everyone knows who you are.Immediately you feel right at home,No matter if you’ve traveled far.You hear a bright “hello” when you enter,Very nice at six-thirty in the morn.“Sit anywhere you like,” I heard someone say,Just like they’d known me since I was born.So, I sat in a booth by the windows,That run the full length of the place.There were only three others sitting at a table,Having coffee, talking stories face to face.They probably come in every morning,This must be their place to go.Tina has the coffee ready,She’s always the first server to show.She took my order, the senior special,Biscuits and gravy, bacon and fruit.The coffee was included, of course,With unlimited refills to boot.After a while, Michelle came on duty,A second waitress for all the hungry folks.I guess they know they’ll soon be busy,Serving breakfasts with sunnyside yokes.There’s take-out, of course, you can order ahead,Many people take their food home.It’s a constant stream of customers,Feeding themselves by using their phones.Then Leah arrived for her shift,That made three all at the same time.I knew my food was good but with three servers,The rest of the menu must be fine.What an incredible place I found,The ambiance and food is so “Rico.”Serendipity had brought to the best place in town,Jake’s Cafe in Chico.Henry Lansing WoodwardApril 29, 2024Chico, California“
