Worth a trip back.<BR/><BR/>Lydia - A full package? Sounds like you should host a Spork party!<BR/><BR/>Kalyn - never been in the restaurant, although I may have have eaten it once. <BR/><BR/>Kathy - I've never been to the restaurant, but I think there was this takeout party once ...<BR/><BR/>Helene - You should try Spork if you're ever in San Francisco.<BR/><BR/>Chef E - You can actually buy a brank new aluminum spork right off the menu!<BR/><BR/>Louise - We are part of an exclusive club! And, thanks for the historical data! Convenience is probably the key characteristic of the spork, although they are a little questionable with ice cream ...<BR/><BR/>Lidian - Spork and Spam - it's almost poetical! <BR/><BR/>Hi Veron - Keep an eye on those rolls - they go quickly!T.W.
