I hadn't been there in 3-4 years, either. Gamberetti e Pinoli is still on
the menu

True, but you have to take into consideration what is available in the area.
In the area where I'm attending classes this week, there aren't any local
joints that are open for lunch. (There's an even better Italian restaurant,
a local thing, but it's only open for dinner.) So this week for me it's
either a chain or fast food.

Jude, could you please quote a portion of what you're replying to so others
will know what you're talking about? Thanks
