A little war

From the New York Daily News:
Mob sauce summit! Colombos and Bonannos had sitdown over suspected family recipe theft from L&B Spumoni Gardens
A gangland war nearly erupted over pizza � but luckily, cooler heads prevailed during a sitdown at a Panera Bread cafe, a mob turncoat told Brooklyn jurors Wednesday.

Ex-Colombo capo Anthony Russo delivered delicious testimony about a former mob pal whose blood boiled like a simmering red sauce when he heard a Bonanno associate had stolen a family recipe.

Colombo associate Francis Guerra flipped his lid when he learned Eugene Lombardo stole the secret sauce recipe from his in-laws� famed Brooklyn eatery, L&B Spumoni Gardens, to use at an upstart pizzeria, Russo said.

Lombardo, whose sons worked at L&B, had opened �The Square� in Staten Island and started serving slices that looked and tasted suspiciously like those at L&B.

�Frankie (Guerra) told me they caught Geno down in the basement looking at the supplies, the flour,� Russo said. �He was angry, he wanted to hurt Gene.�

Russo recalled how he, Guerra and Colombo goon Frank (Frankie Notch) Iannaci took a ride to Staten Island, where they confronted the rival pizza maker.

Iannaci started banging on the window where a sign brazenly advertised �L&B-style� pizza.

�Gene came out and (Guerra) started yelling at him. He told him he�s a �piece of s---, a s---bag, robbed my family, I�ll break your head!� � Russo said.
Heh -- the article goes into the 'settlement' The "mob" has its place in society as long as they don't overreach. A stabilizing influence.
