HOUSE RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of Representatives wish to congratulate Mike Vitullo and Paul Hamiti on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the founding of their restaurant, Nabby's; and

WHEREAS, Bob Hlavin established Nabby's Restaurant in 1978 to serve hot dogs, hamburgers, and beef sandwiches to the Plainfield community; in early 1990, he sold the business to Paul Hamiti and Mike Vitullo, who kept the Nabby's tradition alive; the restaurant maintained much of the original menu and added breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals; and

WHEREAS, A Plainfield staple, Nabby's has proudly served the community well in its time at Route 59 and Main Street; with the goal of serving the highest quality of food and service, it has satisfied many customers over the last 40 years, bringing together friends, family, and community, and it continues to do so with its excellent menu options and friendly staff; and

WHEREAS, Not only does Nabby's provide some of the best food around but it makes giving back a priority; it continually helps local organizations, including the Plainfield Interfaith Food Pantry; and

WHEREAS, Nabby's has survived ups and downs, including the 1990 tornado and the economic downturn of 2008, but its faithful customers have continued their support through it all; and

WHEREAS, Nabby's strong customer base drove the success of the catering side of the business, where local residents shared their love of its food with friends and family; the continued demand for Nabby's has carried on, and their food can be found today on popular delivery apps, including Grubhub and Uber Eats; and

WHEREAS, Over the years, the town of Plainfield has provided a loyal base of customers for Nabby's, and the food, service, and atmosphere continue to make it a pillar of the community; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE HUNDRED FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we congratulate Mike Vitullo and Paul Hamiti on the 40th anniversary of the founding of their restaurant, Nabby's, and commend them for their dedication to their community; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be presented to Mike Vitullo and Paul Hamiti as a symbol of our respect and esteem.
