Oh yeah, infact I thought it was already the situation. But I was corrected. Believe me, I have no love for organized crime, or unorganized. But I'm a big fan of Italian culture and food. Cook it at least 3 times a week. I quarantee I do it better than any of these frenchies, no matter how famous they are for their cooking.
