Let's go to Chris in New York City.

Chris, how you doing?

Good morning, Mark, I'm good, thanks.

Listen, you know, every now and then the reality

of something just kind of smacks you in the face,

I got in my car last night, and I was going to drive down to a place called Grimaldi's, which makes that they have pizza in a church. It doesn't matter, but so I got there. You're talking about Grimaldi's in Brooklyn? No, no, there's one on like 6th Avenue and 19th Street or 20th Street. Oh, yeah, okay. Really good old-fashioned pizza.

Well, the problem is nobody can keep track of this.

It was all packed. there's one on like 6th Avenue and 19th Street or 20th Street. Oh yeah, okay. It's really good old-fashioned pizza.

Well, the problem is nobody can keep track of this.

It was all Patsies in Harlem, the original one,

and then they split up and one became Gremaldi's,

and then that was next to the water club or the river cafe.

And then all of a sudden,

Grimaldies became a chain.

Patsies became a chain, Patsy's became a chain. There's too many of them now. Well, I agree, but my point is, so I'm driving there. I almost got in two accidents by hitting bicycles and motorcycles going the wrong way. I get out of the car to go into the restaurant, and there are people smoking marijuana outside, which is fine. But, I mean, like, I'm breathing it in, and I choose not to.

I get up to the door of the restaurant, and there's a sign saying that we're closed for a few weeks because we're being forced to put special oven filters on our closed-fired stoves.

Now, I mean, these people, restaurants don't make a fortune, okay?
