Did they change?!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/19/07
I'm reading the glowing reviews for Zab-E-Lee and I'm confused! For years my partner and I ate at Zab-E-Lee EVERY Saturday night, it was the best, not to mention some of the cheapest, Thai food around! They even knew us by name! One Saturday a few years ago though we showed up for our usual Thai fix and EVERYTHING had changed, for the worse. The tom ka soup was bland and watery and they switched from delectable straw mushrooms to just regular white mushrooms and I could no longer detect the familiar, fragrant lemongrass. The spring rolls had been replaced by egg rolls, they had no resemblance to Thai spring rolls with minced pork, shrimp, carrots, cilantro and vermecelli. They were just plain old egg rolls stuffed with cabbage. Don't get me started on the entrees! This stuff was garbage! I don't know what happened but evidently someone bought Zab-E-Lee and they were NOT Thai. When I want Chinese food I go to a Chinese restaurant, when I want Thai food I don't go to a Chinese restaurant which is what I think Zab-E-Lee had become. After reading these new reviews maybe we'll try it again. I hope that they actually have gotten some of that magic back as it is not that fun to drive all the way to Buckhead from College Park to get some decent Thai take-out.
