Where can you get spaghetti sauce thick enough to coat that meatball? Everywhere I've tried in the last four years, both here and in NY City, the sauce is WATERY. Even the prepared sauce in jars is mostly water. WHERE, WHERE, did the REAL spaghetti sauce go?

I don't know -- but maybe this guy does:

He apparently ate one on 10/18/2002. I think this is some sort of blog using pictures. I love how he has photos stating "here I am on this date" already done through 1/2/2003. A clairvoyant AND a gourmet. Email him :) I bet he'll tell what restaurant that is!

...the sauce is WATERY. Even the prepared sauce in jars is mostly water.

If you must use prepared sauce from a jar, get the Classico Tomato and Basil, then simmer for about an hour, stirring often. You can have it as thick as you want. My gripe with prepared sauces is the sugar they add to them. This variety of Classico doesn't have added sugar.

I add the spices my grandma used to use: cinnamon, clove, sweet basil, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Delicious.
