Kish Café features renowned local chef and new dining services

Posted

MALTA – Kishwaukee College’s campus food court, Kish Café, is under new management with new options for students and the community. Quest Food Management Service assumed management of Kish Café in July and brought with them a new menu and services, including off-campus catering.

Kish Café’s Head Chef, Rudy Galindo, has taken “college dining services” to a new level, creating high quality, freshly made cuisine. Galindo trained at the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, home to Le Cordon Bleu School. He worked as a chef with Chez Francois in Geneva, Mon Ami Gabi in Oak Brook, and Filo Spinatos in DeKalb, as well as with Northern Illinois University’s Dining Services for seven years.

He joined Quest in July 2017 and has been shaking up the lunch offering at Kish Café ever since. The menu features such tempting dishes as Parmesan Crusted Tilapia, Bacon-Wrapped Pork Chop, Risotto and Steamed Capri Vegetables, Chicken Cacciatore with a side of Rosemary Potatoes. Diners may opt for a fresh salad or the more traditional American dishes of pizza and hamburgers or drop in on one of the “bar” days to create their own baked potato or bowl of nachos using a variety of fresh toppings.

Kish Café is open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, the Café operates as a “grab-and-go” quick coffee and lunch spot from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
