_ Asia, then returned to find that a friend was happily into the food business. No culinary slouch himself, Jonn decided to follow his friend’s lead. ‘He's done a great job. Pasta- : Works items, created largely without . Italian influence, have customers raving about unique items like Stone Crab - Agnolotti. Then there are the sauces ~ _ ., Spicy Eggplani and Artichoke; Lemon ~ Cream; and the tangy Santa Fe Cream. There’s a daily pasta, and MacNeill also carries different olive oi!s and organic soup mixes anti grain products. . "I'm having fun," says MacNeill. "| like encouraging customers to experi-

ment and get into food presentation.” ’ on xk Ok

in and get to know the place.” a
