...would rather be the hitmaker. Take dulce de leche, the sweetened milk cooked down to a caramel that is a staple of Latin American desserts. Overton had considered it for a cheesecake flavor for years, but he waited for a cue--Häagen Dazs' introducing dulce de leche ice cream--before trying the bittersweet, burned-sugar taste on his customers in 2002. It now ranks as the chain's fifth most popular of 40 cheesecakes...
...Factory is the closest thing in the restaurant business to democracy in action. Overton reminisces about dishes he loved that never found a constituency: the torpedo dog, a kosher hot dog with red onions and sweet mustard baked into a pizza-dough crust; a pasta made with melted onions, cream and cognac. White-chocolate macadamia nut had been a top-10 cheesecake flavor for years, but it has fallen to the bottom five and is on the way out. Lamb and veal might appeal to critics, but "we just can't sell it," Overton says. Special interests, like vegetarians...

Still, De Laurentiis turned down nearly all the many alimentary offerings routinely presented to famous chefs by fans and job seekers. Except for two bites of chocolate someone made for her, De Laurentiis ate nothing from the many gift platters. In Mischel's terms, she has acquired "self-regulatory competence...
...we’re all law school geeks, we found it fantastic,†he said. The Class Day exercises also included remarks by other class marshals, who spoke about their experiences at the traditionally button-down and competitive law school by remembering lighter moments, such as ice cream parties, “broom ball†games at the ice rink, and one particular professor’s prowess on the basketball court. Six of the nine members of the Court that Greenhouse covers attended Harvard Law School including Roberts, the recently appointed chief justice. Responding to Kagan?...
