This is normally a place my husband and I enjoy for special dates. I love French Onion soup and the soup at Lombardi's is usually great. This last Friday, though, I had a let down. French Onion soup is made with a beef broth base. Last Friday, my soup was RED! It was a strange tomato base as if made by an inexperienced chef, or someone spilled tomato puree in it. As we had a couple with us, I didn't feel like saying anything at the time. Just enjoyed the company, the steak..but that soup was definitely off. What happened, Chef?
