I'm sure this is one place that won't!! See the article in the Times Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/22/dining/22VEND.html Tue Sep 21 22:58:29 -0700 2004 0 pabboy 1 1296083 Margarine???

Guess the richness of the cheese and corn conceals the taste of the margarine. Or is that really her non-secret weapon?
