I tell you where to go, drive South to El Cajon in SD and go to my Uncles Restaurant De Leones, He was a head Chef in Mama Leones in NYC some 30-40 years ago.

BTW you can get a great Calzone at most feasts. I prefer the ones at a feast over the ones from a Pizzaera cause they are deep fried as are the Zeppoles.

Mmmmm, fried Calzones!

Thanks for the reference to your Uncle's restaurant. We will definitely be in the San Diego area next year checking out colleges for my oldest son, so a side trip to El Cajon will be on our list of things to do.

They are balls of rice with a coating, stuffed with chopped beef and peas. When you cut into them it all gets mixed together and is delicious!

Shaggy, don't feel bad, I live in NY and had my first rice ball about 5 years ago - and they are REALLY good but 'heavy'.

I had really yummy grits at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill on Saturday - but have not had collard greens in quite a while.

Frank, I hope u have recovered!
