Colbieâs Southern Kissed Chicken is the brainchild of chef Fabio Viviani and brothers Mike and Craig Colby. The trio is also franchising another brand, Chuck Lager Americaâs Tavern.
Fabio Vivianiâs hospitality group owns and operates 40 food establishments across 28 different concepts in venues including hotels, airports and casinos, plus fine dining restaurants such as Riviera in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and Chicagoâs Prime & Provisions. âBut we werenât leveraging our ability to replicate the concepts,â said Viviani, the chef whose appearances on Bravoâs âTop Chefâ and numerous other national TV shows helped propel a culinary career that started in Florence, Italy, before he moved to California in 2005.
