The Heartland began short,
on both money and experience, but it was a long range
dream...a picture vision of a wonderful place where
people would gather to enjoy good wholesome food for
the mind and body.
A nice environment...a
pleasant attitude on the part of the personnel...lots
of plants, wood and brick...breakfast, lunch and dinner
seven days a week...and a piano for musicians to fool
with while waiting for their food...
The Heartland was to
be a place where community groups could hold gatherings,
where travelers to and from our city mightstop, share
some news...and certainly a place where regular visitors
and returning natives might touch base...
And a place where runners,
bike riders, dancers, lifters and athletes of all kinds
would pass by for juice, a carbohydrate load, or some
other after or before workout sustenance...
Where the man-woman-child
conscious of their body would comefor periodic nourishment...getting
into that basic, whole, goodtasting food...prepared
with care...and a place those not-yet-so-tuned-in to
their bodies could enjoy and feel comfortable while
checkingit all out...
Good stuff to eat, like rice and beans, cornbread and
corn on the cob, sweet potatoes, stir-fried vegetables,
and home baked deserts...
And omelettes and buckwheat cakes with real maple syrup...and
fresh baked wheat bread...and juices fresh squeezed
or bottled, but with no sugar added if you please!
Coffee and tea...and neat little things on the tables,
like sauces from Jamaica and Louisiana...seasoning from
Milwaukee...tamari and tofu from the soybean...some
honey from Wisconsin...and salt from the sea...and more...
Sweet Home Chicago, Heartland capitol and sometime paradise..
home of our Heartland Cafe...we started in the year
of America's bicentennial and we've barely just begun...
It's still a dream that we hope you'll enjoy... Together
we'll grow.

Chicago Blues Star
Melvin
Taylor
$10.00, Blues
Show at 9 PM
Melvin Taylor is a star in Europe,
but it may take some time for
U.S. audiences to catch on to just how phenomenally
talented a
bluesman he is.
Part of the problem for Taylor
may be his own
natural eclecticism.
He's equally adept playing jazz
or blues, but in the last few years,
he's forged a name for himself as a blues
guitarist with a slew of releases
for Evidence Music.
Taylor may well be the most talented new
guitarist to come along since
Stevie Ray Vaughan.
