Once you've punned, there's no going back. Al Dente's Inferno sounds interesting. I bet they cook up a lot of interesting dishes there with their famous hell-roasted tomatoes. Although given some of the clientele, I wonder if they use garlic? By the way, I'm really interested in seeing this CSI: Ulan Bator show you mentioned.
