The perfect ending to this two-hour,
marathon meal? You've got to go cannoli
(although we also sampled the cheese cake

prescription pad--and a handshake from our
man John sealed the deal.
"I kept everything the way it was," DeLuca
said. "I've got my son in the front and a nephew
that's cooking. It's still family orientated and
that's the way I'm hoping it's going to stay."
