All food fanatics and no one who says how far he has come to take a whim

[Hi, I'm the hedonistic and str … or repressed side of Bernardi's conscience and this is my second hour on the air. I want to (re) ask you a question now that the bigoted owner doesn't hear us. How far are you willing to go to take a whim? Among other things, the other time you told me:

1) That every month you happily travel 450 km to "smoke" a strudel with the aggravating circumstance of listening to Nina Hagen.

2) That you flew and returned the same day from the esoteric Spanish restaurant also in the bill: 500 euros.

3) That 300 km is not a sufficient deterrent for a packet of Ascoli olives from the indie fresh pasta shop.

4) That you can take a one-day return flight from Rome to Salina if the feverish demon of Alfredo's granita possesses you.

5) That since the part with the most nerve endings is pride, a chef based in Milan can improvise 3 days in the States to study Grant Achaz, genius chef of the Chicago line.

Hey, psst … once, the owner here, walked 554 km for Enzo Coccia's pizza (and Pellone's fried one). Nothing compared to the nostalgic 'mmerigano' which was so lacking in the village pizza. He traveled 1,400 miles across 16 states to eat it, and since he now lives elsewhere, he made a quick calculation when he left, "150 daisies will suffice until next time". Yes, I know, the guy desperately needs therapy, not even you, I think, would have done the same.

The British in the Guardian report that the Yankees of Chowhound, a community with a high rate of gastrophanatism, proudly define themselves as "people who do not hesitate to go far, even very far, to eat better". On the site they compete for the most incredible blunders made to take off a whim. But perhaps the most famous madness concerns Elvis Presley, who did not hesitate to fly to Denver to scoff at "Fool's Gold Loaf", the 5000-calorie panozzo starring in an epic post here on Dissapore.

But Elvis could afford it, he also had a lot of calories in his bank account.

I find it more interesting to hear your stories, that all in all you are a person with a normal daily life. So I ask you: how far are you willing to go to take a whim? One more thing but quick 'that my hour of air is about to end: is it really worth it? Uh, the owner is returning, bye, see you next time. Poof!]
