Prior to the remodel, I had eaten at or had take out from Fabs dozens of times. Possible into the hundreds. My favorite was fussili with broccoli topped with grilled chicken breast. I'd share a chopped salad. Of course the hot sourdough rolls were a HUGE part of the ""my favorite comfort food"" experience.\r
\r
I picked up their take out menu last week and saw that dish was not on the menu. But I did see they had other dishes with broccoli and hoped I wouldn't have to pull a Jack Nicholson 5 Easy Pieces to get my favorite Fab's dish!\r
\r
Last night I called to make sure they still made it and they do, so I placed a to go order of 2 fussili broccolis, one with grilled chicken breast, chicken parm, and a chopped salad.\r
\r
We went to pick it up and as usual there was no parking. But a new obstacle was there... valets who were coming and going and blocking the driveway to the pick-up window. Seems like they are parking cars in the liquor store lot. When the driveway was clear, I pulled in and sat there while my friend jumped out and picked up the food. \r
\r
I think I got an Italian salute from the gray haired valet. \r
\r
Anyway, food was as good a before but the sourdough rolls have been replaced by what seems like half baked lumps of pizza dough (can you believe this site won't let you type b?lls). Also no butter and no parmesan tossed in the bag.\r
\r
I read the excuse here that they can't get find the rolls anymore. Alessio still has them, perhaps Fab's should check with them for a supplier.\r
\r
I'll continue to get my pasta broccoli to go, it's worth the parking hassle and disappointing rolls.
