Do you watch Top Chef? Fabio from last season of Top Chef owns a restaurant with his brother in Moorpark, California called Cafe Firenze. We decided to go there for dinner with our daughter on Sunday night and we hoped to see Fabio while we were there. We ordered our food and were enjoying our appetizers when we felt some excitement fill the restaurant.
From our seat we could see that Fabio had arrived and was overseeing the operations in the kitchen.
I was such a happy camper to see Fabio in person after enjoying him on Top Chef!
Photobucket is holding all my photos I stored with them from 2007-2015 hostage unless I pay them a lot of money. I’m slowly cleaning up many posts from this time period and deleting their ugly grey and black boxes with a ransom request. Such a time consuming bother.

Oh yay! I knew you hoped to see him! I’m so glad you got to go there with Katie on an evening Fabio was there!
Lucky you! I really liked him on Top Chef!

hmmm, I’m guessing he’s the hunk that you singled out in a couple of your pics!! I’ll take an order of what looks like stuffed ravioli….
Hi Ellen B.,
I’ve never seen Top Chef, but hear a lot of people really like it! Did his meal live up to your expectations? It certainly looks delicious and that drink…Yum! Is that a Watermelon Margarita? Ooh I’ve never had one of those either, but it looks so appealing!!!!
I hope your having fun!!!
