Reggie did mention that the Sylvana is originally from Manila, although the ones at the cafe here are made differently after his experiences in France.

My daughter and I stopped by the Temptations Cafe after an early morning of birding down in the Southeast Valley, prompted by the recent visit by Saturday Faturday . The Cafe is located just across McDowell from the old Motorola Government Business headquarters, now General Dynamics Mission systems,...
