...Second, it needs to overcome its location on the oft-neglected stretch of Mass. Ave. between the Yard and Porter Square, which is usually frequented only by the most curious gourmands and Quadlings. After a Friday night visit to Di Mio, however, it quickly became apparent that the new gourmet pizzeria has what it takes to overcome these obstacles...
Unlike Noch’s and Tommy’s, who have cornered the market on late-night greasy snacks, Di Mio offers a slightly more upscale take on pizza, serving up gourmet Neapolitan-style pies in a sit-down setting. But despite the abundance of menu items such as Fiore di Latte mozzarella and fire-roasted fennel, Di Mio is as unpretentious as it gets, and thus far it seems to have established a niche for itself as a friendly, laid-back neighborhood pizzeria.

He's polite, dry witted, a bit of a gourmet, but also a master schemer and a psycho who thinks nothing of offing a chef who has offended him.

In London the same technology helps retailer Marks & Spencer track gourmet dinners to prevent spoilage.

And in Arkansas the world's biggest retailer, Wal-Mart, is telling its top 100 suppliers to put it on all cases and pallets...
...Europeans have made the biggest investments. In England retailer Marks & Spencer has spent the past two years rolling out RFID tracking of its gourmet take-home foods, supplied to 200-plus stores by 300 providers. The RFID tags are embedded in some 3.5 million food trays and dollies, allowing the company to track the trays and reducing employee hands-on time 80%. While setup costs for a large company can run from $100 million to $200 million, the efficiencies can amount to 1% of revenues (that's theoretically around $100 million at M&S), says TI's Slinger, which supplied...
