Geja’s Café Chicago – Citrus and Soy Five Spice Sauce Recipe

By Jessica Lewandowski

Geja’s Cafe in Chicago is one of the most romantic fondue dining spots in the city. Frequent diner, Marie Sheppard, fell in love with their fondue in 1972, and was inspired to create a one-of-a-kind dipping sauce to accompany Geja’s Cafe’s entrée platter, which will be featured until July 2nd.
