Will there be a Johnny's Pizza booth?

For real though, has anybody been to this thing before? We were looking for something to do today and this looks fairly interesting. Decent music and what I hope to be decent food.

Unfortunately we didn't arrive in time for that. Based on the people here I can only imagine it was spectacular.

Same here. We enjoyed ourselves. We had our 18 month old with us so we only stayed a few hours. Left after 90 Degrees West finished because he was getting cranky.

Enjoyed all of the food we tried.

Stuffed artichoke
Meatball Poboy
Lasagna
Spumoni

The "red gravy" on both the meatball poboy and lasagna was really, really good.

Nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

I grew up there. I have spent many a minute explaining the gravy, the addition of sugar to kill the tinny taste, and staring bewilderedly at the people that say they like it metallic notes.

I add sugar to my gravy, but not as much as the old school sicilians. I just kill that weird taste off.

Spumoni


Why is it that no one sells Spumoni Ice Cream in the south/

Incredible, wonderful stuff.

It was pretty good for sure. I'd never had it before.
