  2. Betty and I just loved meeting everyone. Jeff Carlin loved it too. The Italian sausage was great!! Now Betty wants us to visit Montemagiore, Sicily where her family comes from.

    1. You and Betty should visit Sicily. My wife and I visited Bivona Sicily where my father and grandparents were born. We were able to connect with distant Berardi relatives that still live there. It was amazing.

  3. Congratulations to your brother Nic, I also will sleep better knowing that that he’s back in service. My only regret is that he most likely will not be able to contribute to the show!

  5. Both happy for Nic and the country but sad for us as I suspect he will no longer be able to write or be on the podcast
    I also wonder if Romania election cancellation had anything to do with his decision

  6. We drove 1.5 miles to get to this 1.5 block of nothingness.
    We waited an hour in line for 2 beef and sausage combos to be informed they were out of bread.
    We went home with 2 bowls of average beef and less than average sausage.
    Please stop with your silly Sicilian sausage suggestions.
