C'est la première fois que me rendais sur Duluth, le café des chats comme destination. Mais, après avoir parlé de Chez José à une connaissance, elle m'a dit, "vas-y pour essayer leur sandwich épicé, tu vas adooooré"! Bon, si j'ai bien compris, je devrais retourner sur Duluth, sans attendre 50ans cette fois! La réputation de votre resto dépasse la frontière de l'île!

Awesome place for breakfast or lunch. The only downside is the size of the place. Only about 6-9 tables so it can get busy & might have to wait. But it is worth it as the food & service is great. Cool & funky decorations too!
