Pretty good stuff, but a little too hot for my digestive track. I’ll be sure to make it back home for Riggiefest, coming this May.

Utica (New York that is, there are also Utica’s in Michigan and Mississippi, and some other states, I believe) has had its name in lights so to speak many times. Its been mentioned a couple of times on the Simpsons (a very cool website, by the way) and in more than one Stephen King story.
