I'm in the Rome Termini, the central station, and I'm eating at a place called Ciao, which used to be Auto Grill. I don't know, I honestly don't know exactly what happened. Auto Grill used to be everywhere, at every gas station, every train station, and the airports. And it was sort of like fast food Italian style, but very, very good pasta, risotto, salads, first courses. I'm in Rome, Italy, Cold cuts and that kind of thing, and then also cooked meat with wine and water. And for about $25, you could have a really solid, serious meal that was about as good as anything you could get in a mid-rate to high-rate Italian restaurant in America. Not the really high-end ones, not the one that you know that you're you know the guy came from Bologna to start a restaurant in Chicago type of thing. But but when you go one step down from that, yeah, I would say ciao or. You know what I always still refer to in my mind as Auto Grill is right up there. Very good food, prepared fresh, good ingredients, and dirt cheap. Four bucks for five bucks for carbonara, twenty-five bucks for a bottle of wine, bottle of water, a meat dish, and a plate of spaghetti carbonara. Can't get better than that. So when you're in Italy, if you get a chance, eat in the airport or the the train stations. It'll just surprise you. And I always do it every time I come just. for the surprise factor. Good.
