Everybody Wants to Be Italian wants desperately to be My Big Fat Greek Wedding - a little indie romantic comedy steeped in ethnic stereotypes and saucy humor.

Ever since I saw the movie Moonstruck, I've been hung up on the idea of eggs with an Italian tomato sauce. You remember the scene near the end where all the players show up and no one wants "to talk about it". Was I the only one wondering what Olympia Dukakis had planned with what looked like tomato paste with eggs? We Brits cut our tomatoes into wedges and fry them with S&P. Yum! And I have this...

He received a standing ovation from the large crowd that had come to hear the featured guest, Oscar-winning actress Olympia Dukakis. I was surprised when Schaefer was brought to the podium to speak; he didn't strike me as having the energy or wits to perform. But he did, and what transpired could only be described as awkward, and the audience at Baltimore Hebrew could only be described as immeasurably...

After last night's ep, I'm bummed that I didn't have a chance to get my egg on at Lou Mitchell's while I was in Chitown — and even more disappointed that Tom didn't come nudge me out of my hotel-room bed so we could partake in a little morning sunshine together. As for the former, I love the aura of a diner run by Greeks. It says family. And although co-owner Helena, with her eyeliner, dark lipstick,...
