Cool weather Baby!

The first cold snap is here and temps are down!  What better way to fuel up than soup and samich from Campione's Taste of Chicago.  From gold ole homemade Minestrone to Chicken Tortellini with spinach our soups are made fresh and served piping hot ya know?  You can buy 'em by the bowl OR take home a gallon for ya's fer later.

While I'm at it, what better way to handle a cold weather holiday crowd than lettin' Campione's cater your party.  Lasagna, Italian Beef samiches, Italian sausage, soups, salad, it's all good.  And the prices will let you go Christmas shopping afterwards.  Just call us at 615-206-6965 and get the details.

Sure Glad THAT'S Over!

Thanks and more thanks to our customers for support last week.  We got our fridge repaired and we re-opened Friday 9/16 and we were SWAMPED!  Can't thank you guys enough for your support.

Just for the record the fridge going down and being closed for 4 days didn't turn out too badly.  Insurance should help with lost food, repairs and business interruption costs.  A big thanks to Travelers Insurance who has handled our claim so fast it scares me.

Anyway, we're all set to go into fall and all the fun of Halloween and the Holidays.  Don't forget you guys, Campione's Taste of Chicago is a great choice for your catered event.

End of Summer Update

So much has happened that I finally had to grab myself by the scruff of the neck and post, already!

First the bad news: Our refrigerator died and we lost EVERYTHING!  Hey, if you're in the restaurant business it happens.  We will open again September 16, after a new compressor is installed and Mama makes new sauce, chicken salad, meatballs etc.  We are really sorry for the inconvenience especially any new folks who were going to check us out. 

Now that we got that out of the way we can go to the good stuff.

The Gallatin News Examiner runs a Best of Sumner County poll each year where residents can vote for their favorite restaurant, night spot, park, etc.  This year Campione's  was included in four categories: Best lunch spot, Best restaurant, best samich and best take out.

 We are so thankful to our customers because you voted us second best place for Take Out and 4th best samich in Sumner County!  We are especially humble because no one could vote for us until the poll was two weeks in.  Again, thanks to our customers because we can't do it without you.

Campione's Taste of Chicago celebrated three years of operations on September 11, 2011.  We didn't plan that but that's how it worked out.  Deb and I can't believe it's been that long and that we are still open given all the news of the past 3 years.  We are TIRED but still kicking to bring that Taste of Chicago to Gallatin and the Nashville area.  Thank you all so much for your support and VOLUNTEERING to try something new and different.

Granddaughter Lexie is back at Lee College and will only be working with us on vacations and such.  Here sister Amanda (another blond) is picking up the slack quite well.  We also want to welcome Sandy to the Campione family.  She's been with us a month or so and has been a great addition and really helps Mama Debbie during lunch and at closing.

Grandpa and Grandma Sam and LaRue will be back this fall.  They have been stuck in Alabama while LaRue recovers from sholder replacement surgery.  Rue is doing well but it takes a while

YO, It's time for vacation!

Campione's Taste of Chicago will be closed July 5 through 7/18.  Deb and I are going on VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  You got a problem wi 'dat?

Seriously, we really need a break and we will always close up around this time to do annual clean up, spruce up, repair and generally put the restaurant back together after the had use of the last 12 months.  See us at the Gallatin July 4 celebration and we'll catch you on the eighteenth at the regular time.

Eat Healthy at Campione's Taste of Chicago

After hosting a dinner for a Biggest Loser contestant one our "family" got curious about the calorie count of some of our samiches. The result? Move over subway! Campione's Italian Beef samich has only 460 calories and our Chicago Hot Dog only 280! Our fries are better too with no transfats and no saturated fats.

Bottom line, you can enjoy Campione's guilt free! Who knew?

Baseball at Campione's!

In a surprise move, the Chicago White Sox have moved to Gallatin Tennessee and are playing the most exciting baseball yet. Wearing the traditional Sox black and white these pros look distinctily undersized by major league standards. Did I mention they're kids?

Catch the Campione Chicago White Sox play Tuesdays and Thursdays. Get the whole scoop at www.guidescores.cm/superseries. The little sluggers play in the Cal Ripken-Rookie League Division and at last report are undefeated!

Yes, the team is fueled by Italian Beef samiches.
