New York/Philly red gravy battle is a draw

Last Tuesday, we told you about Gravy Wars author Lorraine Ranalli's plan to battle New York-based New Jersey-based writer/chef Johnny DeCarlo in an Italian Market gravy-off. (Y'all shared some choice words in the comments.) Now comes word that the tasting challenge did not have a clear winner. From Ranalli's blog:
Discerning taste buds enjoyed both pots of gravy and meatballs as evidenced by their quick disappearing act. In the end, it�s fair to say that the ''war'' was a draw. Both Johnny DeCarlo and Lorraine Ranalli are entitled to declare victory.
We're still not used to this "New York and Philly being nice to each other" thing. Teach us how?
IF only the WORLD SERIES could've ended in a draw I think NY and Philly would share MORE LOVE! As for the gravy battle draw--it proves taste varies, but I give you both credit for getting your pride and joy out there! :) All the best, Ruth Zavitsanos author of THE VILLA DOG
