Fatz Cafe Offers Limited-Time "Rock-N-Bowl" Menu Item

Fatz Cafe has a fresh spin on its World Famous Calabash Chicken with new Rock-N-Bowl pastas. This limited-time menu features decadent new pasta bowls like the cheesy Calabash Chicken Lasagna and the zesty Calabash Chicken Parmesan, and starts at just $9.99.

The Fatz Rock-N-Bowls menu has been carefully curated by award-winning Chef Brian Dukes and features many innovative, chef-inspired dishes using fresh, local, and regional ingredients that are served up to satisfy.

“Fatz guests love our World Famous Calabash Chicken, and we are excited to bring them new ways to enjoy it,” said Dukes. “Our lasagna is made fresh in-house with a recipe that only Fatz could make. We start with a base of ricotta cheese, fresh basil, and parmesan. Then we add eggs to make it rise when baked with a light, fluffy consistency. Then we build layers of lasagna noodles, cheese, marinara and our housemade Calabash chicken tenders into sky-high masterpiece. Then, it’s garnished with two Calabash chicken tenders and fresh parsley. It’s a wow.”

The new Rock-N-Bowls menu not only features delicious pasta dishes, but a new dessert, drink, and starters, as well. The full menu includes:

Calabash Chicken Parmesan - World Famous Calabash Chicken served over penne pasta tossed in house made marinara and topped with gooey, melted Italian cheese.

Grandma’s Calabash Lasagna – Classic lasagna recipe stacked high with World Famous Calabash Chicken in layers of creamy ricotta, house made marinara, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses with a generous garnish of two Calabash chicken tenders and fresh basil.

Tuscan Shrimp & Chicken Pasta - A dynamic duo of grilled shrimp and tender chicken tossed with creamy marinara, spinach, and a blend of mushrooms and peppers.

Mega Meatballs & Marinara - Giant, hand-formed Italian-style meatballs served with a rich tomato sauce over penne pasta.

Fatz Cafe President and CEO Jim Mazany works with Dukes to ensure recipes adhere to his vision of using local ingredients in Fatz' freshly prepared standard. 

“At Fatz, we pride ourselves in serving delicious entrees that are made fresh with local ingredients. These pastas highlight our signature item, Calabash chicken, which is locally sourced from Prestige farms in North Carolina,” said Mazany. “Guests will enjoy quality food with fresh, unbelievably good taste.”
