2010-08-07 Buca di Neets

My pal Shirley's 40th was last week, so I made a little get-together of friends to celebrate at Buca di Beppo.


If you've never been to Buca, it's family-style eating. You just order a bunch of plates for the table and everyone digs in.

But that wasn't quite exciting enough, so we requested to eat in The Pope Room. It's a room completely covered in Pope memorabilia, with a certain someone's bust sitting in the middle of the table...


"We're all huge fans, your holiness..."

We stuffed ourselves:


And had fun at the Pope's expense:


But we were pretty full...
