It’s been pleasure to watch.” The students found sanctuary in creating the show, according to the junior Tzinberg. With the stress of the fall semester and recent security scares, students have consistently been at rehearsals eager to create the passion project to share with the community. The show has created a “fantastic” community among the students involved and Tzinberg hopes the performances have spread the connection, causing audience members to leave the show and tell someone in their life that they love them. “This show is not about cliches,” Tzinberg said. “This show is about people living their lives that have love in them. It’s not just sugar and sweet. There is the nitty-gritty of having a relationship with someone when you love them.” ABOVE: Joe Gertner performs during rehearsals.

northbrooktower.com dining out the northbrook tower | October 18, 2018 | 37 Jasper’s Cafe menu is ‘large and in charge’ Glenview restaurant focuses on community Alyssa Groh Contributing Editor Jasper’s Cafe originally opened in Glenview about 23 years ago. But, through a series of ownership changes, the restaurant was later changed into Hamilton’s. When Chris Kappos learned there was an opportunity to become owner of the original building that was in his family years ago and turn Hamilton’s back into Jasper’s Cafe, he jumped at the challenge. Six years ago, Kappos reopened his family’s restaurant and continued the tradition of Jasper’s Cafe. Kappos has always been in the restaurant industry and had a vision for what Jasper’s Cafe would become. He wanted to keep most of it the same but really hit home the idea of being a part of the community. “He wanted this to be a really cozy place for the community, where everyone can come to and feel at home,” said Pamela Tousis, the general manager at Jasper’s Cafe. Since joining the team at Jasper’s two years ago, Tousis said everyone is friends at the cafe. The staff at Jasper’s supports the community and is constantly giving back and donating to local organizations, Tousis added. “Chris wanted [Jasper’s] to be the community restaurant,” Tousis said. “He is really big about donating to everyone that comes in and supporting the community. We want to make sure The fresh strawberry crepes ($9.95) are freshly made with delicious strawberries at Jasper’s Cafe in Glenview. Photos by Michal Dwojak/22nd Century Media people know that we are here, that we care and that we are here for them.” Since its opening, the restaurant now welcomes a lot of regulars, Tousis said, and at any given time, she knows 90 percent of the people in the restaurant. She also added that much of the staff at Jasper’s is the original staff, which helps create a family feel and consistent food, which is a priority at the restaurant. Jasper’s Cafe offers an extensive breakfast and lunch menu, which Tousis said is “large and in charge.” The food is made fresh daily with high-quality products, which is part of the restaurant’s mission “to consistently provide our customers with highquality fresh food and deliver impeccable service by demonstrating warmth, graciousness, efficiency, knowledge, professionalism and integrity to our work.” 22nd Century Media staff stopped into Jasper’s to try some of the food, and with a large menu, we left it up to Tousis to choose some fan-favorite menu items. We could not get enough of the fresh strawberry crepes ($9.95) dusted in powdered sugar. With each bite, it is easy to taste the freshness of the strawberries, and the homemade crepes set the dish apart from the rest. We also tried the Iron Man omelette ($11.45), which is an egg-white omelette made with spinach, mushrooms and low-fat mozzarella cheese. This “large and in charge” omelette fits perfectly with the rest of the menu. One unique dish at the restaurant is the stuffed avocado with chicken salad ($10.95). The dish, which can also be ordered with tuna salad ($11.95), is served with tomatoes and a mound of cottage cheese, fruit and hard-boiled egg. If you are an avocado lover Jasper’s Cafe 1913 N. Waukegan Road, Glenview 6:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. daily (847) 486-1988 and looking for a healthier option, this is the dish for you. A great comfort-food option is Jasper’s hot turkey ($9.95), made with roast turkey slices on white bread smothered in gravy and served with homemade mashed potatoes and a cup of soup. The options at Jasper’s are endless. Whether customers are looking for breakfast or lunch items, there is sure to be something for every type of diner. RIGHT: The hot turkey dish ($9.95) comes with roast turkey slices on white bread smothered in gravy, served with homemade mashed potatoes and a cup of soup. Jasper’s pumpkin pancakes are a seasonal favorite for a lot of the restaurant’s loyal customers. The lox plate ($15.95) is piled high with smoked salmon, sliced tomato, cucumber, red onion and served with a bagel and cream cheese. The Iron Man omelette ($11.45) is an egg-white omelette with spinach, mushrooms and low-fat mozzarella cheese.
