Our Dinner With Homaro: The Miracle (! or ?) That Is Moto

Let me get to this quote is a second, but first let me say, that I too applaud GAF for setting up this dinner. I guess to slightly paraphrase Voltaire, even if I had little desire to go on this adventure, I'd fight for the right for others to do it. I think such outings add another dimmension to our community (and also smash some of the myths about chowhounds vs. foodies or such--I think the people on LTH just want to enjoy food, whatever the form.)

OK, I'm off one high-horse and on to another. What's so different from this "popcorn" and Trader Joe's pirate booty?
