We take care of them with the price.”Īnd for 17 years, the regulars have kept this landmark diner - an old-school reference that draws a smile from Bourounis - hopping with American food and Greek hospitality. “They are very important,” Bourounis says of his senior clientele. “Yeah, family, yeah,” Bourounis says, holding up a menu to show off the day’s specials for seniors. “The only thing we make special is the New York-style cheesecake,” Bourounis says.īreads, particularly dinner rolls, are made fresh as well. The recipes, he notes, were mostly picked up during his days as a chef in Chicago. “We got chicken, we got a lot of stuff,” Bourounis says, emphasizing, “… and homemade cooking, grandma’s homemade cooking.” “My brother stayed in Fort Wayne, and I came here.”įor the past 17 years, Bourounis has made Top Notch a favorite spot for regulars who hang out in breakfast and lunch shifts - a nice, friendly neighborhood diner serving breakfast, lunch and dinner featuring American cuisine dotted with Greek dishes and a “Tour of Italy” as the menu suggests. “And then we split,” Bourounis says of he and his brother. Two years later, Azar’s founder, Alex Azar, who also had restaurants in Fort Wayne, approached Pete Bourounis with an offer to buy his South Bend Big Boy. I made a lot of money, then I came here and I (bought) this property.”īourounis backtracks to 1995, when he left Chicago and moved to Fort Wayne to open Cosmos Restaurant with his brother. “And then I became a cook,” he says, “and then I became a chef in a big restaurant. When Azar’s Big Boy was serving up burgers, fries and milkshakes on this corner of Indiana 2 and Mayflower Road back in the day, Bourounis, a Greek immigrant from Sparta, was on the trail of his American dream in Chicago, washing dishes, busing tables and putting money away with the hope of someday owning his own restaurant. “Yes, she said ‘yes,’ ” Bourounis confirms. “Hey, are Greeks good cooks or what?” he asks, turning back with a smile. “We’re all good cooks,” Bourounis says, turning to a server for her take on the conversation.

You’re full from breakfast, but you can’t resist the soup and roll, anyway. “Breads … all our food is made from scratch.” “All our soups are homemade every day,” Bourounis says. The server brings a steamy cup of chicken-and-rice soup and sets it down on the table along with a fresh dinner roll to sample. “You have to try the soup,” Top Notch Family Restaurant & Bakery owner Pete Bourounis says. As if the big plate of veggie-mixed potatoes topped with scrambled eggs - the “Garden Skillet” - isn’t enough to fill the hungriest of breakfast tummies.
