opera and pasta...

i finally had dinner at "Victor Cafe" with some friends tonight. it's an Italian restaurant in south Philly that has singing waiters....opera singing ones. so every 15 minutes or so, one of them or a couple of them will break out in an aria. i was a bit disappointed that the female wait staff were not opera singers....they sang Broadway--mind you, they were good, just not what i expected.

i had the pasta alla caruso (pasta sauteed with chicken liver, onions, wild mushrooms,etc)...i think after watching too many episodes of "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern" I was craving some liver....but my dish was a bit disappointing, not because i don't like liver, but the sauce was way too sweet, and i think they gave me like livers from 5 chickens on that plate. but, i guess one goes there for the experience and the ambiance....and some for the fact that the latest "Rocky" movie was shot there. me, i just wanted me some good food and good music! (as my housemate can attest, i've been craving food non-stop the last couple of weeks. i think my body wants some extra insulation for winter.)
