Thanks for the additional information, Yvonne. I’ve seen some of these articles before, but not all. I too am fascinated by this stuff, and am, in fact, working on a book that covers some of these topics. There’s also...

the Chowhound opinion of this place is lower, but I can’t understand the popularity of Vinny T’s. I don’t care if you do get 3 pounds of pasta in a serving...it’s completely tasteless and soggy, and all...
