See that? That’s one-third of a small meat-lovers’ calzone from Ramunto’s in Williston, VT.  Yes, a third of a small, and stuffed more than an inch thick with copious amounts of pig and of cow, served with a small take-out tin of sauce. Good for dinner, followed by two consecutive left-over dinners later in the [...]

A friend of ours once worked as an apprentice to him and, knowing that we would enjoy his style, had loaned us some videos to watch. We clicked the “Play” button and our jaws dropped.
