First of all, the quality and variety of the baked goods, as well as the hand made sammiches that…read moreemploy those baked goods are the bomb and probly worth the trip. I've had occasion to make it over to this large bakery/cafe just north of downtown C-U for lunch a couple times and never been disappointed. Granted the food (including a couple fantastic side salad options) isn't cheap, but everything is made properly with high quality ingredients and well worth the occasional splurge. Although we have only tried some samples, there's even a fancy coffee cafe within.5 Factor in that all the employees we've met (including the delivery people out in the Central IL grocery stores) have been pleasantly passionate about their products, and you start to understand how they've come to stand out in what seems like a fading industry. That said, it also seems like the shelves with high end grocery items like exotic olive oils, Momofuku noodles, hard to find jams and other condiments, have dwindled in the last year or two, likely due to tariff-based cost models, but you are still likely to find a new favorite 'something' just browsing while they craft your sammy. Even if it's just a 'cronut' or a loaf of that amazing olive ciabatta or sourdough, it is becoming a mandatory C-U stop for us.

The Reuben at Martinelli's Market sets the bar.

Served on their rye, the sandwich is rich yet balanced, showcasing the quality and care behind every ingredient. Quite simply, the top sandwich in Champaign.

If you happen to be in Farmer City around lunch time or are driving by on I-74 and are looking for…read moresomething besides fast-food, give Imo's Restaurant a try. This is a decent mid-western home town restaurant with a nice full menu. I have eaten here three times over the past two years and was always happy with what I had. This is a place to have things like a hot roast beef sandwich smothered in gravy, or a meatloaf plate or a variety of sandwiches. They also feature a local "thing" that originated in Springfield and the surrounding area, called a Horseshoe. This is Texas Toast, with a meat selection (turkey, ham or hamburger) covered with a huge pile of fries and then drenched in cheese sauce. This thing is HUGE, so on your first try, order the smaller version, the Ponyshoe. I'm sure not everything they make is home made, but the daily specials probably are. When I had a meatloaf platter, it certainly was. On the latest visit, I had a breaded tenderloin sandwich that was well above average. It had one fourth inch thick meat, instead of just being a huge bread Frisbee. The chile was mid-range, typical midwestern style, but OK. They had a very nice beef, vegetable soup that one in our party had that was reported to be very good. Bottom line, it is a decent small town Midwestern restaurant. Certainly above average, with good service and a complete menu. From I-74, take Exit 159 and follow IL-54 into Farmer City. The restaurant is close, located at the junction of IL-54 and US-150.
