Found this web site on a local news station site yesterday. Printed out a couple coupons. They ask for your email address so they can send you more ads. I figure I'll give them the address, then unsubscribe after the first couple emails.

Fazoli's is about as Italian as I am and you'd have to pay me more than that to eat there.

All the Fazili's in our area closed last year.

Not only would they have to give me the food for free; they would have to pay me to eat it. Of course, various locations may be better than others.

Thanks for posting the free deal though; very nice of you.

I've eaten at the Fazoli's in Paducah and Evansville, In and one other that I can't remember where. For us it was great food and very friendly service. I could sit down and eat those breadsticks all day! lol
But, like I've said in other threads, opinions are like rear ends...everybody has one! lol

I don't care how Italian they are. I love Fazoli's! But we hardly ever eat there...we just don't eat out much.

Why is that, exactly? The banner claims "Join the Italian revoluton!", but they just serve mass producted pasta.

Everyone has a right to an opinion; people are going to like different things - I understand all that; but in this case...no. It's just not OK.

Let's forget everything about the "Italian" aspect and just look at their menu as it is. Forget that Italians are masters of seafood, meats, fabulous cheeses, fresh herbs and yes, pasta of course.

Do you know how easy and cheap it is to make your own pasta? Messy? Yes! Very, very messy! But fun. Do you have kids? Do they like Play-Do? Making pasta isn't much different. Eggs, salt, flour. Cheapest things at the store. Fun, delicious and educational for the whole family.

What about bread sticks, you say? Flour, water, yeast, salt. If you're making pasta, most of the ingedients are already out!

You can do this, anyone can. Make it fun. Even if you cheat with a jar of store bought sauce it's still wicked cheap.

I've never heard of Fazoli's before, and there aren't any near here, but it was nice of you to link to a free meal coupon. Don't understand why some people feel the need to tell you what you need to like/dislike, but thanks anyway OP.

Keep a special Yahoo email account for junk-mail senders that you want freebies from.

Fazolis are spread rather thin---

Food served on cardboard with plastic spoons. It''s fast-rood italian.
Nothing like Olive Garden, but it will fill you up cheap.
