It has been said that Pangea Cafe & Catering in Owensboro, Ky., is like a culinary spa. Pangea’s large green building with it’s elegant interior decorations and outstanding cuisine and ridiculously friendly people is unexpected, but deliciously so. Some of the favorites are Asian Vegetable Wrap (Napa cabbage, julienned carrots and peppers, chow mein noodles tossed in a soy-sprite vinaigrette served in a spinach wrap) with Homemade Potato Chips, or the House Made Chicken Salad Sandwich (Seared chicken breast tossed with fresh herbs on sourdough bread) with house made pesto ranch pasta salad as a side. Also outstanding are the Hummus Roasted Vegetable (House made hummus with roasted vegetables, Swiss cheese, basil pesto on sourdough bread) or Fish Tacos and a Black Bean Cake (it reminded me of a salmon patty but with black beans instead of salmon). The food, the decor, the whole beautiful ambiance… it’s highly special and quite original. From the iced tea served in beautiful, slanted glasses to the homemade potato chips, everything is extra-special. Eating lunch at Pangea is like treating yourself to something wonderful. You step into the cafe and allow them to pamper you.
