Subject: Villa Bianca Stuffed Mushroom recipe
Dear Uncle Phaedrus,
There was a fine old Italian restaurant in Flushing, NY called the Villa
Bianca. They served the most amazing stuffed mushroom appetizer. It was so
special that only one mushroom was in an order. The place closed at least 30
yrs ago. If you can find any info, that would be great.
Thanks for all you do.
Kind regards,
Dorothy
Hello Dorothy,
I found very little about Villa Bianca. Just a couple of photos and
nostalgic message board posts. I'll post this for reader input.

Subject: Dosanko Butter Larmen
Dear Uncle Phaedrus,
Dosanko was a wonderful Japanese noodle shop with several locations in NYC.
The place was reasonably priced and the food was delicious. They specialized
in tempuras, katsu, and noodle soup. They made a butter larmen that was
simplicity in itself and so good. I'd greatly appreciate it. If butter
larmen isn't available, I'd love any recipe from that place.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Dorothy
Hi Dorothy,
Dosanko Larmen is an international chain of noodle shops, with locations in
many countries. I don't know why they closed their New York locations, but
it appears that they have opened at least one location in Los Angeles.
Buttery flavor ramen is a common dish in noodle shops, of which there are
many in NYC. I could not find any recipes from Dosanko Larmen. The only
recipe that I found which mentioned Dosanko Larmen was this one, which is
one person's attempt to make a copycat of Dosanko Larmen's curry ramen:
Rockin' Ramen
I'll post this for reader input.

Does anyone have the recipe?
They were so dark and dense yet cakey.
Ive been trying to replicate for many years.
