assortment of prime steaks and some original fresh fish creations you won't find anywhere else. A fresh water favorite is the Great Northern Walleye, either parmesan and fresh herb encrusted or classically seasoned and pan seared to a golden brown. Another popular seafood dish is the Classic Shrimp Scampi. It features five colossal shrimp with fresh lump crab in a traditional scampi butter served with fettuccine and toast points. One of the things that stands out at The Fat Chef is the fact that the meals are not ala carte. "Our menu is unique in that every meal comes with the veggie of the day, starch, salad, and warm bread with herbed butter," Christine said. "We want you to enjoy a complete meal without getting charged for every side." And beyond the impressive menu there is something else that makes this culinary experience special, and that is your hosts. "We are running a family place," Richard said. "It's our own little 'Mom & Pop' establishment. When you stop by, you will meet all of our family – myself, my wife, Christine, and Joan, our mom. Our wish is that you will come in and relax, enjoy your meal in our non-rushed atmosphere, and taste the best steak and seafood there is." In other words, The Fat Chef is by no means fast food. It is designed and intended to offer a dining experience meant to be savored and enjoyed. "I believe The Fat Chef is special because we are not a chain," Christine said. "We provide the highest quality of food available, great service, and a chef who is so creative!" Recently, they expanded their hours and menu to include breakfast and lunch. "We are doing breakfast and lunch Wednesday through Friday from 10:00 to 1:30, and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 to 2:00," Christine said. "We have all homemade biscuits, gravy and sausage and classic eggs benedict for breakfast. And for lunch we have a humungous club sandwich, beer battered french fries, and much more." Of course, if you want to really know how good a restaurant is, look at the customer reviews. In the short time The Fat Chef has been open they have garnered an impressive string of five-star Google ratings. Here is just a sample: "Absolutely wonderful experience at The Fat Chef.

"I had one of the best meals I had in a long time here. The service was great and all the food from the appetizer to the main entry was superb. I am here visiting family that is moving to the area, and I fully understand why they said we had to try this place." – Dave S. "Christina was our waitress and the owner, she was so delightful to talk to and made us feel very welcome! We first had the house salads and bread with herb butter. We also had the Walleye and the Shrimp Scampi with the fettuccine and cream sauce. Best fish I have had in a long time! Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back soon!" – Lindsay B.
