I thought that was just pasta.
Anyway every single line in this piece on the making of commercials for low-to-mid-level casual-dining restaurants is golden. GOLDEN. Just look at what follows:

The dish is eventually passed to a stagehand, who heats up the mozzarella and welds it to the noodles on the fork, using what looks like an industrial hair dryer. A hero shot is being set up, and not just any hero shot.
“It’s a cheese pull,” Anthony DeRobertis says, using the term of art for hot cheese in motion. “They’re really difficult when it comes to pizza because every company has a different idea of how many cheese bridges there should be. It can take hours to get it right.”
Kudos to you, David Segal.

qed-deactivated20110916 asked: How do you like your eggs?
Migas or nothing. I mostly hate eggs, to the point where my sister this morning got me some sort of egg-preparation gadget from the As Seen On TV store as a gag gift.
