Thanks for this newsy excursion. I really enjoyed it.
I see gianduiotti http://www.italianmade.com/foods/subcat30014.cfm
I just finished eating a spoonful of Trader Joe's nutella (it doesn't have
the stuff that Nutella brand has in it - which I haven't eaten for years)
and I wonder how yours compares to Trader Joe's which is darned good IMHO
(TJ's doesn't call it Nutella, tho).

I googled Bowery Kitchen Supply which said that it was located at the
Chelsea Market home of Emril live and Food Network Studios. Things I didn't
know and are fun to know. I was going to get to NYC this summer - never
made it, so it was fun to read yours.
