A great little restaurant

If you happen to be traveling in the area of Valparaiso, IN or going to the Chesterton Dunes, consider stopping for a bite of lunch at dish (http://www.dishrestaurant.net/). 

This pleasant little eatery, located at 3907 N. Calumet in Valparaiso, does a great, inexpensive lunch for under $9.00.  Service is friendly, and given the size of the crowd (barely an empty table at 1:30PM, so not a regular lunchtime crowd), quite fast.  The makeup of the crowd tells you that this place is a local favorite.

They have a box lunch of the day, with soup, sandwich, salad and a dessert.  All ingredients are fresh, and wonderfully flavorful.  Special dietary needs are handled with no difficulty.  The bread is delightful too.

In addition to the sandwichs, are a number of nice dishes which you can see on their website (link above).

As for my first visit, I had the Ham and Jarlsburg Swiss Sandwich with a few adjustments (Dijon mustard and a ciabata).  Lettuce was crisp, the swiss was flavorful and the ham, was not greasy in the least.  The house chips were excellent.  Quite a step up from the local sandwich shop chains.  Looking forward to my next visit, and hopefully a dinner stop at dish.
