JOHNSTOWN - Ghetto fabulous gained new meaning earlier this week when cash strapped Upstate New York reporter took the noodle to new heights.
Reilly P. Ore, 26, of Johnstown, is credited with developing Ghetto Alfredo. Culinary giants from around the world are saying it might take over the world.
“I don't know what all the fuss is about, I just took some noodles and seasoned them with salt, garlic powder, grated cheese and lots of butter ” Ore said. “I've been making it since college.”
What Ore makes light has put him on the map. President George W. Bush is said to have already had the White House and Camp David stocked with the ingredients, but White House Spokesman Ari Fleischer said this meal is not just for the leaders.
“The great thing about Ore's Ghetto Alfredo is it's going to bring a touch of class to poor, down trodden and destitute,” Fleischer said. “The President really feels this a meal of the people, the homeland. Next week he plans to announce the Ghetto Alfredo War on Terror plan, which stresses in these though times there's no need to sacrifice tasty meals.”
Ore's meal was born from necessity. He said he'd rather be eating sushi or swordfish but these delicacies are beyond his income bracket.
“See I'm a reporter and well we don't get paid all the well,” Ore said. “I was finding I could barely pay my college bills so I busted out an old recipe I used to make in drunken collegiate stupors.”
