THE SECRET IS OUT: Bob's Famous Foodmart is about to become even more famous. I've tried to keep a secret about the 289 Park Street business, but it's about to leak out. When my mom was in Copley, I needed to get quick lunches when I visited. I'd go to Bob's and get amazing lunches—from meatloaf to steak tips to chicken parmesan, with all the side fixings. And, the cost was low. I only shared my discovery with a few chosen friends so that the lines wouldn't get so long that I'd be late for afternoon appointments. But, now I can't hold back anymore. Bob's is going to be expanding. They are going to be open from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., and offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. Instead of just takeout, there will now be seating for 15, which …
