Panini's make it to the US

I think the reason I have been so fascinated and addicted to panini's lately is because there aren't little cafe bars located on every corner of every street selling panini's in the US. Sadly, the closest thing that can compare would have to be the Subway's that can be found along any highway, or any street in the middle of nowhere. But, within the past 6 years, panini's have made it to the US, making their debut in New York. A Fox News article in 2002, stated that panini's were becoming a lunchtime favorite at deli's and cafes. After a few restaurants and cafes brought in the panini presser, they soon became the talk of the town. Domenic Seminar, an italian native who has been selling panini pressers since the 80's, strongly believes that "panini is the food of the millenium." Unfortunately, I myself, have not seen panini's conveniently available through out Pennsylvania. You never know..maybe I'll have to begin the process and open a panini store along the street in downtown State College...

Nicole, you can buy pretty good panini bread at the Wegmans in State College, Pennsylvania -- and you can buy some arugula, tomatoes, and Italian cheese to go with it. Not quite the same as Rome, but a reminder.
