I never said I wanted to go there, I just said that I lost all interest in the place. Thanks for being obtuse and pointing out the obvious. R |

They sell Rao's-branded spaghetti sauce in the supermarket. It costs about $10 a jar, about 3 times what a decent jar of sauce costs. So you can look at it two ways. Either you can get the Rao's experience at home for $10, minus the over-the-hill mobster at the next table. Or you can figure that Rao's is like $10 spaghetti sauce: I don't care if it's flavored with the finest tomatoes or even high-quality heroin, no jarred supermarket sauce is worth 10 bucks. Ben Restaurants are for eating, not posing. Posing is for post-ride coffee shops. |

I'm not so sure. Looking back on his posting, he also is advising long sleeve shirts for hot weather riding - no doubt to hide the track marks. Maybe he blames it on a "sun allergy" like Millar. R |

Pure coincidence, but it could happen. The sauce is three times better than average decent supermarket spaghetti sauce. Only virgin olive oil. You better not disrespect that pasta sauce. You'll eat it and like it. |

It's true! Just last night, I was cooking up some spaghetti bolognese, and suddenly there was a knock on my door. There stood three large men in tight buttoned up suits, who told me if I valued my sauce, I was going to have to buy Parmesan from them on a weekly basis. Ben |
