Capo's Fettuccine Alfredo
From the Atlanta Constitution’s Food Goddess Column: If you have been faithfully reading the goddess’ column, you will remember there has been much discussion about Capo’s (formerly a restaurant in Virginia-Highland, now just a beloved memory) and its Chicken Diablo recipe. Denise Blaha of Roswell graciously sent in the recipe for Margie’s Chicken Diablo (covertly obtained by a former employee) and Susan Webb of Monroe added some finesse to it. Ms. Webb also taunted the goddess and her fine followers, challenging us to beg for the second half of the recipe, the fettuccine Alfredo. The goddess put it out to her readers, who had no trouble getting on their knees to secure this treasure. Let’s hear what some of them had to say: Kimberly Rankin, a Capo’s fan since the age of 13, cast her vote from the nation’s capital. ”Please, please, please, I am begging you.“ She writes, ”Please beg for the Alfredo sauce recipe. The recipe for Chicken Diablo is so very special and much appreciated, but the best meal on earth was the Capo’s Split, which had the chicken and the fettuccine. Begging from way up north in Washington, D.C.“ With Ms. Webb’s help, the goddess presents the complete recipe in case any of you missed it the first time around. Consider it an early holiday present. Susan Webb writes, ”Hope this brings all the Capo’s fans great memories. It’s worth all the begging. Though my source wishes to remain anonymous [she is giggling at all this], here it goes."
