Portillo's Restaurants - Honey Jam Cafe

Honey Jam Cafe

In 2010 Portillo Restaurant Group launched the Honey Jam concept. Unlike the other three concepts which focus on fast casual food Honey Jam is essentially an upscale pancake house similar to Walker Brothers Pancake House in both ambiance and menu. They feature unique pancake and waffle combinations and specialty items such as a baked apple pancakes, German pancakes, strawberry cheesecake french toast and white chocolate raspberry Belgian waffles. Honey Jam offers patrons whom order coffee a cup "to go" after receiving their check. The concept's name, according to the menu, is derived from the owners pet-name for his wife, "Honey" and the first letter of his three children's first names comprising the acronym "JAM." The concept is positioned as a breakfast and lunch cafe, and thus closes at 3 p.m.

Famous quotes containing the words honey, jam and/or cafe:

    I admire people who are suited to the contemplative life.... They can sit inside themselves like honey in a jar and just be. It’s wonderful to have someone like that around, you always feel you can count on them. You can go away and come back, you can change your mind and your hairdo and your politics, and when you get through doing all these upsetting things, you look around and there they are, just the way they were, just being.
    Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)

    Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn’t like jam if it didn’t, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn’t like truth if it wasn’t sticky, if, from time to time, it didn’t ooze blood.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks, and the American instruments will make music in the merry cafe described by our friend Lange. And then, sometime later, we die.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
