Youze Guys Gotta Be Hungry

Listen up, pal. In The Life, there ain’t nothin’ more important than money. It’s the top dog, capisce? But ya know what comes right after that? Food, my friend. If these wise guys ain’t chowin’ down, their gabbin’ about it. They’re always on the lookout for the primo joint servin’ up the best Rigatoni Bolognese or linguine with crab sauce. Deep fried Calamari and steamed mussels? Fuhgeddabutit. And, naturally, ya can’t leave out the cannoli. Now pay attention, ‘cause each of them restaurants I’m talkin’ about got a connection to The Boys. They either owned it, dined there with their famiglia and associates, held “meetings” in them joints, or even had their final supper there. You followin’ me? Good. Now keep your mouth shut and enjoy the meal.
