Mm, that sounds like it would be good. What would it take to bring it to America?

Italy’s culinary reputation is wrapped up in pizza. So what’s so bad about a Luigi Burger?

[B Knotts]

Looks good. Hope they sell it here.

Disagree.

I’d try it.

Go eat at McDonalds right next to the Spanish Steps in Rome. This one ain’t no common hamburger house.

My grandfather is Italian. Used to tell me that we’ invented capuccino., espresso, macaroni etc but Italy does not get a cent in royalities. If anyone is in L.A., try Palermo’s. The best in L.A.

[Lazamataz]

I’d hit it.

[Ramius]

Looks tasty. Though... to be fully Italian seems like it needs a big ‘ol tomato on it.

[dfwgator]

What do they call a Quarter Pounder in Rome?

Never been to Palermo's, but I'm always looking for good Italian eateries in L. A. For good sausage or meatball sandwiches, check out the Eastside Market, an Italian-owned deli located in Chinatown at 1013 Alpine St., near Figueroa.

Thanks, will do. The smaller the place, the better. I live in Hollywood so they’re close by. Miceli’s, supposedly the oldest in Hollywood is fantastic.

If you are ever at Universal Studios/Citywalk, word of advice on Buca. The entrees/dessert suck, it’s pricey but the actual dish is superb.

I thought it was Yankee Doodle who stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni.

Wasn’t it Marco Polo, come to think of it, who found ancient Chinese noodles and brought them back to Europe? And the Old World knew nothing about the tomato until Christopher Columbus got them in the new world, and even then they were daring each other who would eat it!

The potato was from the New World as well.
